Merry Christmas to all! At a time in our Nation's history when the true meaning of Christmas continues to be more and more commercialized and de-emphasized due to political correctness, my hope is that you and yours would enjoy a Christ-centered Christmas holiday and a blessed New Year. (Correction - the link in this blog title will take you to a piece I wrote for the Washington Times. In this piece, I claim that Virginia is the home of America's first Christmas tree and that the tradition was started by the Rev. Charles Minnigerode who was pastor of "The Church of the Confederacy." I have been shown this is incorrect. However, the tree described in the article
was the first in Williamsburg and, most likely, the first in Virginia. My apologies for such a careless error. I hope you enjoy the rest of the article though as the
facts are correct.)
