1836 – Alabama Declares Christmas a Legal Holiday
Christoph via FlickrThe 22nd state became the first in the nation to officially recognize Christmas as a holiday, which wouldn’t become federally acknowledged as a public holiday until 1870. The last state to come on board this movement was Oklahoma when it joined the union in 1907.
God always delivers and most often in unusual ways. Consider the birth of our Savior. No fanfare just a young man and his virgin wife going to report for a census. No room in the inn, but room in a stable that the Creator of the Universe became like one of us in order to grow up and die for His creations sins. And by believing that we are sinners and accepting what Jesus be privileged to spend Eternity with Him. is that not unusual?
May Jesus our savior be always with you and Merry Christmas!
There’s absolutely nothing patriotic about Christmas. In fact, there’s a separation between Church and State enshrined in the Constitution.
And if Christ were around today, he’d be mocked and vilified by Republicans. They care about the message only insofar as they can use it as a weapon. A pacifist speaking about giving away wealth, helping the less-fortunate, and embracing the stranger would be thrown out of the GOP.
Your statement that constitution enshrines the separation of church and state is completely false. Not once is that mentioned. That phrase is from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote in praise of government not restricting the freedom of religion, including within the government.
Few who voice their opinion of these things are aware of your accuracy comment but you are exactly right. God bless
And Jesus would approve of baby murder the democrats love? /s
Poor Scrooge he still lives in—————— you!
Burke you need to do some reading like maybe the Constitution before you spend opinions about what is said in the Constitution. Check it out.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, no matter what the radical,liberal,socialist,marxist,commie dumbocraps think,and may the LORD, bless all of us in this unknown next year, and keep us safe from the evil that has been released on the American people. With the LORD on our side we still win, this stolen election will be righted, we can’t allow a national security risk to America, in dementia,slo,joe to compromise our country to china. Biden can never be president, he shouldn’t even get top secret briefings, he’s a traitor, like his bff,bathhouse,barry soetoro, both orchistrated a coup to take out our president, both belong behind bars, not ruining our country,again.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a free happy NEW YEAR with Trump as our President!
