LINUS: And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

If you are a True Christan,you would know the answer. This will never be answered. When the time comes for the reappearance of GOD and his ANGELS then and only then will the true meaning of CHRISTMAS be known.There is so much put into receiving only the best and most things at Christmas ,that it lost it's meaning .If more people would give Love instead of objects ,it may start too mean what it was attended too mean .When we leave this world,we can have all the the richest we want,but those won't get you into Heaven .It's your love for your fellow man that is what GOD looks for when you are at those pearly gates . Dolly Parton had a song out that says it all in music .If you can find it listen too it. The title of the song is I Meet An Old Man Walking Down The Street.if you want a copy let us know we will e-mail you it .This isn't meant too offend anyone ,but this is our way of thinking what Christmas is all about.In closing may we wish everyone who still believes in Christmas and a Santa Claus .
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS .

Another question. Do you think shepherds would be living in a field in the middle of winter?
