Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! I wrote this because I was disappointed in what I was hearing, and I wanted to express what Christmas really means to me. I don't expect or require others to believe what I do. But, with Christmas being a Christian holiday, I feel that the real meaning of Christmas is too often lost in our secular society. Along with that, I fear what is also lost, is what an immense and ground breaking, even earth shattering, event that it was. It literally defines "epic" or "biblical" events or proportions. The creator of the universe came to save his creation, and Paramount in his creation, humanity. We've been fooled and duped too long. The whole point of Christianity is for us, humanity, to be reconciled to our creator in the relationship that he intended for us from the beginning. So I implore you--be reconciled to God! All that is good comes only from him! I had the pleasure of working on this with vocalist Eulis Kay, from the First Presbyterian Church of Fullerton, back in 2016. This is a re-mastered and updated version, and I hope you enjoy it!
