  The Christmas Guy takes us on a tour of Our planet for the Christmas Holiday week of 2009 with the song 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart'. @Christmas- "For a couple of hours we are the people we always hoped we would be." Please remember all those less fortunate this Holiday Season all through the whole New Year. Christmas is not just a holiday..its a way of being. Please share this message with your friends and share your light :) This slideshow video is dedicated to those who protect and defend us and all the good people of the Earth. love One Another always. Pray for Our troops and those we love far from home. Peace, and God bless us...Every One. Features the song 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart' by Jackie DeShannon, Jimmy Holiday, Randy Myers Included are edited versions of the song as performed by Jackie DeShannon, The Isley Brothers, David Ruffin and Dr John. I think the lyrics get to the heart of what we all should be focused on always. if you listen carefully the words are a short hand version of the teachings of Jesus. Consider them. We're all in this together. "Think of your fellow man Lend him a helping hand Put a little love in your heart You see it's getting late, so please don't hesitate Put a little love in your heart" Yes, I watched all the holiday movies this past month and was inspired by a few including the 1988 take of the Dickens Classic :) Mostly as I've been sick in bed making these picture vids I've been reading. It really is a better exercise for the brain as well as the heart and soul. About the episode title- The Aramaic word for the neighbor we are to love includes all near us, all we think about and have thought about including ourselves. That word in Aramaic is "kareb". The Aramaic expands those we must love under the Second Commandment to include all within our awareness. Think on it. Peace be with you :)

Collected and cut by Timothy Paul Taylor (The Christmas Guy) 12/24/09 TRT 2:57 Christmas is marked on the 25th of December (7th of January for Orthodox Christians). Christmas is a Christian holy day that marks the birth of Jesus, the son of God. The Gospels do not mention the date of Jesus' birth. It was not until the 4th century AD that Pope Julius I set 25th December as the date for Christmas. This was an attempt to Christianise the Pagan celebrations that already took place at this time of year. By 529, 25th December had become a civil holiday and by 567 the twelve days from 25th December to the Epiphany were public holidays. Christmas is not only a Christian festival. The celebration has roots in the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, the festivals of the ancient Greeks, the beliefs of the Druids and the folk customs of Europe. Christmas comes just after the middle of winter. The sun is strengthening and the days are beginning to grow longer. For people throughout history this has been a time of feasting and celebration. Christmas has always been a strange combination of Christian, Pagan and folk traditions. As far back as 389 AD, St Gregory Nazianzen (one of the Four Fathers of the Greek Church) warned against 'feasting in excess, dancing and crowning the doors'. The Church was already finding it hard to bury the Pagan remnants of the midwinter festival. An important part of today's Christmas is the myth of Father Christmas (aka Santa Claus aka Pere Noel among others). His origins are in Christian and European tradition. But the visual image of Father Christmas that we have today is the one popularised by American card-makers in the Victorian era. Traditionally, Father Christmas visits houses at midnight on Christmas Eve, coming down the chimney to leave presents. Children hang up stockings - nowadays usually large socks with Christmas patterns knitted into them - for Father Christmas to fill with little toys and presents ('stocking fillers'). With carol concerts, Christmas trees, office parties, midnight mass, and television programmes, today's festival has elements of the Pagan, Christian and folk traditions. Christmas remains a time to forget about the long dark days and celebrate with friends and family. Christmas. Encyclopedia Britannica.
