Happy Christmas

During the Christmas holidays the greeting is "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year." But with Christmas being a happy time with friends and relatives, we could say, have a Happy Christmas. Because we will be experiencing happy moments and pleasant memories, it makes this a happy day.

Any time a child is born is a happy time but this is the birth of God's Son which is a time for real happiness. Happiness can be found in many situations but none as great as this. You can still say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to those people you come in contact with, but don't forget, the real reason for the season is the birthday of the one and only Son of God, Jesus Christ.
