That's true. I don't celebrate Christmas. It's way too commercial for me and I don't like the origins of Christmas. Jesus was NOT born in December.

My oldest brother was born on December 13th. I guess there were a lot of famous people born on December 1st. I could have added some of those, but I wanted to keep the post short.

@IreneVincent I think your post is about the right length. Readers don't like them too long.

Unfortunately, 'OUR ERA' is an era of madness. This world is a mess. Did you ever watch this video about WHY the world is in such a mess and what God plans to do about it?
Even if you are not a Bible reader, this video is very eye-opening.
Why study the Bible? Find answers to life’s big questions: Is there a God? Will suffering end? See how to get a free Bible study at a time and place convenient for you.
