10 Quotes for a Very American Christmas

Profound remarks spoken or written by nice Christian authors are sometimes cited when the subject of Christmas arises. Augustine is recorded to have stated about this holy vacation, “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” British Christian titan C.S. Lewis wrote, “The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God.” Both feedback are stunning and true.

This yr marks the 275th birthday of the United States – a mere blip on the display in comparison with Christianity. We had been based by a rebellious lot who initially sought out this rugged land seeking spiritual freedom. Today we’re a nation bitterly divided by politics. Still, we puzzled what nice ideas, concepts, and quotes “we the people” needed to supply this Christmas that speaks of real love and peace in order that we’d unite our hearts and minds for a mere second to discover a very American Christmas.

So, with out additional ado, listed below are some quotes about Christmas from our fellow countrymen, previous and current:
