truth is, Christ was not born on December 25, or even that time of
year. But the pagans observed this holiday, centuries before
Christ was born to celebrate the "birth" of the new SUN. It was
regarded as the nativity of the SUN "because the sun begins to
lengthen and the power of the sun to increase from that turning
point of the year." It was the all-important festival of pagan
SUN-worship. You'll be surprised to read what the BIBLE says about
it, and about the Christmas tree.
Today people suppose--in giving Christmas gifts--that they are
following the example of the wise men who presented gifts to the
Christ-child. But they presented their gifts many days after His
birth--NOT on His birthday. And they presented their gifts to
CHRIST, but today people usually neglect Christ and His Work at
this season, and EXCHANGE gifts back and forth AMONG THEMSELVES!
One would think it more logical to present their gifts to CHRIST
for His Work.
You'll be truly surprised to find the true origin of Santa
Claus, the Christmas tree, the Yule log, the mistletoe, and
everything associated with Christmas. So ask for your FREE copy of
"The Plain Truth About Christmas" as well as Volume IV of The
BIBLE STORY.
Truly it is, as Jesus said, "more blessed to GIVE than to
receive." And so I sincerely hope you'll give me and our
Co-Workers the PLEASURE and the BLESSING of GIVING YOU these books.
It's a real JOY to serve you.
And again THANK YOU for your interest.
Sincerely, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
