It's just a little animated image I drew for y'all. Merry Christmas! Yes, instead of a holiday cartoon or game or something like that, I, O Bro 1, thought I'd take a simpler approach this year and just do a little picture of all our characters having fun at a little Christmas party.
Songs: "Because It's Christmas" Sidewalk Prophets "Winter Wonderland" Newsboys "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear" Steven Curtis Chapman "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" Relient K "Mary's Boy Child" tobyMac feat.

In answer, yes, the past 2 years we have done a little plug for the real Christmas story for our Christmas special. But since I've been so crushed schedule-wise this semester, I didn't feel like I could do a big project, so if it's all right with you, I'll do our message in the notes. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, but I'd love it if you did. In fact, I won't even tell the story here, I'll just tell you where it is: read either Matthew 1, or, if you want to follow the mainstream, Luke 2. That story, the birth of Jesus, is the real Christmas story. Not "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" or "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" or anything like that. God Himself came down as a little baby to take our sins away. That's what I believe is the Christmas story, and the Christmas miracle. That's why I celebrate on December 25 every year. I don't know if you celebrate for that reason or not, but if you don't know the Christmas story, read it. And while you're at it, read the rest of the Gospels too. I recommend John, it's really easy to read. Think about Jesus' life and, ultimately, His death on the cross to take away our sins. And if you haven't accepted Him into your life to save you, well, talk to someone you know who has. I'm sure they'd love to talk to you about it! Anyway, enough from me, go read the story yourself, and remember, Merry CHRISTmas!
