Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

In the past I’ve said Happy Holidays, but I made a mental promise to say Merry Christmas this year, and I see a lot of others pushing back the same way. I still say happy Hanukkah or holidays to my friends and neighbors that I know are Jewish, and I appreciate the ones who say Merry Christmas back. But out and about, cards, niceties is all Merry Christmas this year. As a family we’ve refocused on our faith. We added a nativity scene to our outdoor decorations. We talk about gratitude for our countless blessings every night. It’s been fulfilling personally and well received.

Saying Merry Christmas despite the attempts to cancel is not so different from pushing back on the Covid madness. Just ignore the crazy people. My husband and I refused to get the vaccine (our kids aren’t getting even over our dead bodies). Yes, we were barred places, but we also contribute a lot to our community and when sponsorships and season theatre tickets didn’t get renewed we politely explained why - and that we would no longer support any organization othering people based on their personal health decisions. Enough of us did that so the whole vaccine mandate or vaccine pass to go eat or participate in society never took off in our area. We also traveled internationally (Caribbean), kept up an active social life, and remained kind but firm when people got all worked up.

When it came to masks it was clear they couldn’t physically work because viral coronavirus aerosols, as in dissolved in air, are smaller than the gaps in the fibers for all the masks being worn (from cloth to most N95s). There is also the reality they don’t mask Taliban women to keep them safe from anything. Masking has always been a means to dehumanize. So we went out and showed our smiles. If asked to leave, which rarely actually happened, we left. Our young’s kids were not masked for any length of time, not isolated, only missed April/ May in person 2020, never “socially distanced,” saw their grandparents all the time throughout the insanity (private conservative Christian school of 1,250 kids and top ranked).

So often society tries to use semantic gymnastics to overcomplicate and justify the unjustifiable. The vast majority of the time it’s easy and freeing to just ignore the baloney. Just don’t comply. Plainly consider the actual outcomes and act accordingly. I say Merry Christmas because I hope others find joy, love, faith, and gratitude as I have. Especially the past 3 years I rediscovered my faith and found refuge in it. I want to share that peace and happiness. Enjoy life. This lunacy of wokeness shall pass. Joy and Merry Christmas.

The propagandizing against “Merry Christmas” is just another way for the puppeteers to supplant the warm connections, unifying spirit, and joyful expressions of love with tribalistic splintering, resentment, and bitterness, much like CRT does in the classroom, as eloquently captured by these Papa and Mama Bears:

I encourage everyone to join me in making 2023 the Year of the Good Reset:

https://www.bobmoran.co.uk/downloads-1/the-good-reset-download

While painful, we must listen to and acknowledge the suffering of the victims (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/baby-alex-the-definitive-accountin/comment/11352496), shine a light on the evils of the perpetrators (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams), and take meaningful action (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-senator-ron-johnson) to prevent such crimes against humanity from occurring ever again.

Wishing you and your family, Tulsi, and everyone in this community a merry Christmas and triumphant new year 🙌

Tulsi! ...What a treasure you ARE! Your calm, strong personality and dedication to our nation, our Constitution, our freedoms and liberty; and your fearlessness to fully intellectually engage the Collective Left and EXPOSE their disgusting conspiracy to completely destroy our history, our sovereignty, our traditions, our Western Heritage; our folkways and mores, indeed the ENTIRE

"Fragile Experiment with Self-Governance" - is, in a word - extraordinary !

Like Ronald Reagan before you, ALWAYS write your own thoughts and speeches...as you posses a NATURAL ability to communicate.

Wishing you and your Family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Let us PRAY that 2023 AD, will be a year of more love and less hate; of more understanding and less strife and PEACE on EARTH.

The gift of Jesus Christ to each one of us is beyond price. He gave us His perfect life in exchange for taking our sin on the cross. He did the ultimate sacrifice so that the Holy Spirit can give us faith in Him as our Savior, who is Christ the King. And now we have the inheritance of forever in heaven with Him, with our God, Yahweh, the great I AM! Can there be any greater gift at Christmas than this? He is Christ, the Savior, the Son, He is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Prince of Peace. Amen.

Tulsi; wanted to share this simple Gospel message with you as Christmas fast approachesWOE indeed! Deception is indeed rampant and 'many' have missed the simple message of Grace, by think we must WORK for salvation, whem it is INDEED a Gift from God.

Heaven is not our eternal default destination; It is Hell have you changed it to Heaven by Trusting in Christ’s finished work upon the cross? Ever hear “Have you been saved?” You ask “Saved from what?”

Why an eternity in Hell and saved from God’s perfect love which requires Justice be satisfied!

Have you humbly accepted that according to God (Jesus) we are not good, but evil!

Matthew 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Romans 3:9-20 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

As it is written:

“There is none righteous, no, not one;

There is none who understands;

There is none who seeks after God.

They have all turned aside;

They have together become unprofitable;

There is none who does good, no, not one.”

“Their throat is an open tomb;

With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;

“The poison of asps is under their lips”;

“Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”

“Their feet are swift to shed blood;

Destruction and misery are in their ways;

And the way of peace they have not known.”

“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Mark 10:15-19

Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”

Matthew 5:28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

We can not do ANYTHING to save ourselves.

John 6:28-29 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”

Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

trusting ONLY in Christ’s Gospel!

Romans 10:8-13 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

1 Corinthians 15:1-6 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep

May this Christmas be the one that you truly know why it is TRULY celebrated.

Have a Very Merry Christmas!

And for those who don't know, there are other books who mention Jesus in passing which have nothing to do with the Bible, so there!
