Okay,\u00a0you know that the real reason that December 25th was chosen as “Christmas<\/a>” to supposedly honor Jesus was because that date is the birthday of the sun-god Mithra.\u00a0 So, since you do not celebrate it, and in most nations most of the stores are closed, other than cleaning up around the house (something that I hope to spend some time doing today), what can you do?<\/p>\n

\"Game<\/p>\n

For amusement, you might want to play the\u00a0Who Wants to be a Biblical Millionaire?<\/span><\/span> game.\u00a0 It is fairly popular and my son Michael is adding questions to it all the time.<\/p>\n

\"History<\/a><\/p>\n

Another option would be to study more about the The History of Early Christianity<\/a> .\u00a0 There is always more to learn and I am always updating articles there.\u00a0 FWIW,\u00a0studying more about religious history is something that I also intend to do today.<\/p>\n

Of course, you should “pray always” as Paul taught, and it is usually a good idea for Christians to Read the Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, for those of you not working today, have a great day off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
