Christmas is the time of year

 that your hugged

by

 warm MEMORIES of the past

and HOPE in a promised and glorious future

 

"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

though you are small among the clans of Judah,

 out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel,

whose origins are from of old, from ancient times." -Micah 5:2
