Lyrics excerpt ...
genius.com
... It's not the glow you feel When snow appears It's not the Christmas card You've sent for years Not the joyful sound When sleigh bells ring Or the merry songs Children sing The little gift you send On Christmas day Will not bring back the friend You've turned away So may I suggest, the secret of Christmas It's not the things you do At Christmas time but the Christmas things you do All year through[emphasis mine] ...
Not the joyful sound When sleigh bells ring Or the merry songs Children sing
The little gift you send On Christmas day Will not bring back the friend You've turned away
So may I suggest, the secret of Christmas It's not the things you do At Christmas time but the Christmas things you do All year through[emphasis mine] ...

hohoho! I opened up the site and was surprised to see this thread as the banner headline.
It wasn't meant to be a music thread, btw... more what Rogers made it, a Merry Christmas thread.
Here's actually the first thing I saw this AM online, gone viral apparently!
"White House Gang Goes Sledding!

That's hilarious. Truth is Jews didn't officially celebrate birthdays until 1999.
Americans until the 1880's, the Church in Rome not until the 4th century, and ancient peoples never... unless you were the King or Pharaoh or Emperor, then it was kosher.

Christ couldn't even visit Bethlehem today.
Jews can't legally visit Bethlehem today as it controlled by the "Palestinian" Authority. the restriction came about due to violent attacks, lynchings, and murders of Jews in PA-controlled territories.

So, I guess the much-anticipated return of the baby Jesus will just have to wait for at least another year.

#18 That's why God, Christ and the Holy Spirit all want national borders completely removed.
John 1:12 -13 (NIV) Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. We are all children of God.

Actually, this is the one I saw:
"Palestinians gather in Bethlehem to celebrate Christmas for the first time since 2022"
Not so easy getting there.

Despite a request from the Bishop in Miami and several other members of the local clergy, Trump says that ICE operations will continue across the country on Christmas day. After all, he claimed, that he was elected to rid the nation of all illegal immigrants and he's not going to tell DHS to suspend operations just because it's a holiday.
