For a child is born to us, a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace  will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!
-Isaiah 9:6-7

Today's off the wall fact that probably means nothing to anyone is:
A few fun Christmas facts...

-Germany made the first artificial Christmas trees. They were made of goose feathers and dyed green.

-Rudolph" was actually created by Montgomery Ward in the late 1930's for a holiday promotion. The rest is history.

-If you received all of the gifts in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," you would receive 364 gifts.

-The Nutcracker" is the most famous Christmas ballet.

-The first state to recognize the Christmas holiday officially was Alabama.

-Clearing up a common misconception, in Greek, X means Christ. That is where the word "X-Mas" comes from. Not because someone took the "Christ" out of Christmas.

-"Xmas" is a common abbreviation of the word "Christmas". It is sometimes pronounced /ˈɛksməs/, but it, and variants such as "Xtemass", originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation, /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for "mass", while the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ".

-Christmas became a national holiday in America on June, 26, 1870.
