Merry Christmas

North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) does something special around this time of year.  They track Santa.  So if you would like to follow Santa’s trajectory this Christmas Eve you can do so here.

So who is this Santa Claus?

This website has a nice biography of Saint Nicholas.  Here they explain the development into who we now know as Santa Claus.

So it is Christmas Eve Eve.  In two days we will celebrate the coming of Christ into the world.  The eternal Word that was with God and was God became flesh.  This is what we celebrate: the infant in Bethlehem who in only 30+ years would offer his unblemished life on the cross for the life of the world.

This is what we celebrate: Christ Jesus’ coming into the world.  We also keep in mind the parousia or second coming of the Lord.  If you invite Christ into you hearts and homes this Christmas, your Christmas will be Joyous.  There is no greater joy than knowledge and love of the Lord.

Perhaps we should all pray through the intercession of Saint Nicholas and the Virgin Mary that all shall remember the true meaning of Christmas, and that all shall be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

God Bless you, and Merry Christmas.
