Before I get into the good news of Christmas, let me explain why fewer people celebrate real Christmas.

The Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848 can be summarized in six points: Abolish private property, abolish the Natural Family, abolish individuality (replace with groupism), abolish religion and morality (especially Christianity and Christian virtues), abolish nations and borders, and abolish history.

So when you hear more “Happy Holidays” and less “Merry Christmas,” you know that Communism is ravenously erasing history and religion on U.S. soil. But at Christmastime, submission to anti-Christ forces is largely voluntary. So I urge you — choose “Merry Christmas” and the Real Reason for CHRISTmas!

Stop and realize that six decades ago, “Merry Christmas” and “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” was central in our American culture. Yes, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, used to be popularly honored this time of year. Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, you’d hear on mainstream radio stations Silent Night sung by Johnny Mathis; Mary’s Little Boy Child sung by Harry Belafonte; and Do You Hear What I Hear? sung by Bing Crosby.

To inspire you to honor Jesus Christ in your heart, mind, and soul, listen to these excellent recordings:

Mary’s Boy Child (1957, sung by Harry Belafonte)
Silent Night (1958, sung by Johnny Mathis, plus his first Christmas album)
Do You Hear What I Hear? (1963, sung by Bing Crosby)
The Little Drummer Boy (1965, sung by The Harry Simeone Chorale)

And to inspire your whole family (you can play these for hours), here are 129 “Christ Centered Christmas Songs.” Deanna, who posted on YouTube these contemporary, beautiful Christmas song recordings, wrote, “The reason for Christmas is Christ, not a ‘winter wonderland.'” This is historically and spiritually true!

Lastly, before your family’s gift exchange, I encourage you to open your Bible to the Gospel of Luke, and read the real Christmas story in Chapters 1 and 2. Let the truth of CHRISTmas touch your souls and make you glad!

“The very purpose of Christ’s coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die. This is the heart of Christmas.”
U.S. Christian evangelist Billy Graham (1918-2018)
