Merry Christmas

As the more ‘enlightened’ and ‘progressive’ members of the United States Congress who defend those who worship at the altar of separation of church and state recess for their annual month long Christmas break, opting not to classify it as a ‘seasonal’, or ‘holiday’ break, the Madison Conservative would like to remind them of the true meaning of Christmas, as written in scripture and so eloquently presented by Charles Schulz via Linus van Pelt.

To wit:

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks 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 savior, tis Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger."

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

So Merry Christmas and the Madison Conservative will return the first Monday of 2012.
