WHAT DOES RUDOLPH'S RED NOSE AND EGGNOG HAVE TO DO WITH CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY? - Garner Ted Armstrong - December 1967

Garner Ted Armstrong

"PEACE on earth, GOOD WILL toward men" may sound trite and hollow this year. But in SPITE of terrifying world troubles, the traditional, commercial, CHIEF of the "Christian" holidays looms on the horizon once again. Chances are you would FLUNK MISERABLY in a simple test about its origins. Go ahead - take a chance - find out! The wreaths began appearing before Thanksgiving day, in the United States. Australian mothers began telling their children about "Santa" rowing his boat down the river soon (snow and reindeer appear rather hard to believe, even for little children, in the heat of December's summer in the land "down under"). Brace yourselves. The mad shopping rush, the jangling bells, the department store "Santas" are with us again. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
