I was lucky enough to grow up in Risingsun, Ohio, with my grandmother and grandfather Hoover on their farm that hugged the place we lived, with loving arms around us on either side (until we were 11 years old) and behind, with our forest above us. a little further, which I loved to walk as a child, always looking for my “brother” falcon, circling over my head, to greet me.
Anyway, in addition to my parents, Grandma and Grandpa Hoover always made sure we had a rich Christmas celebration, in every sense of the word. We always went to his house, next door (an orchard between us), on Christmas Eve and to my grandmother King’s house in Fostoria on Christmas Day.
Grandma Vivian Hoover always made sure we had lots of wonderful home cooked food and baked goods of all kinds and different kinds of fudge and peanut crunch (my sister Sue and Grandpa liked them), and that we each had ten gifts to open. She would buy all year from mail order catalogs and hide them upstairs somewhere. She also preferred the blue Christmas lights, like the candles in the windows, and would always ask us to bring down the box with her artificial tree (because she was allergic to the real tree) and horse sleigh bells to put around the front door and doors. sweets. tree poles…
As kids, my sisters and I always wanted to open our presents right away, but Grandma left that decision up to Dad to decide whether or not we ate first. We ate first (which is certainly wise).
So I know the warm and lovely Christmas memories many have, having experienced them, but once I learned that such holidays are actually pagan in origin, impure celebrations that the Great Creator God of the Bible forbids His children, and that God wants us to enjoy family and friends and keep wonderful memories Your Biblical festivals that are kosher, I quickly stopped keeping Christmas and started keeping God’s holy days with His blessing. Now I try and help expose Christmas as an abomination to others who might never have known otherwise!
I hope and pray for America and our Israelite peoples everywhere who have been gentilized in many ways, to remember our Hebrew roots (identified on the Brit Am Israel website) and Biblical responsibilities and grow closer to our God and further apart. of the. those ways and days that He strongly disapproves since God loves us.
