Scam season is upon us!

Scam season, unfortunately, is now upon us.  ‘Tis the season to be jolly, Merry Christmas, etc., etc.  But while many are excited about celebrating the holiday, some are wondering how to pay for the gifts they want to get for their loved ones, while others are working overtime to take advantage of them!

Christmas is supposed to be a time set aside to remember the greatest gift of all, the Savior, Jesus Christ.  The Christian Bible describes this Savior as the Son of God, the Creator God (John 1 in the Bible) and the Mighty God in Isaiah, chapter 53, also in the Bible.  According to the Bible, he laid aside his power and glory that he had in Eternity to become a human child, just like us.  This was so that he could one day, after living a perfect, guiltless life, he could satisfy justice for the entire world by sacrificing himself. 

So, according to that account, he was born of a human virgin in a cattle trough filled with fodder, because there was no room in the local hotels.  That’s why there are scenes set up in various places at this time of the year with a baby in a manger, surrounded by people and animals. That, in a nutshell, is the #Christmas story.

Eventually, as time went on, this event was celebrated on December 25th in most of the Western World.  That’s probably not the day it happened, but that’s another article.
