Christmas comes but once a year, so the old song goes. Why is this wonderful holiday celebrated and so loved all these years since the birth of Jesus?

Use them in the twelve days leading up to December 24th (two a day) or even read just one a day from December 1st, finishing up on the night before Christmas!
