Really loved President Ragan Christmas message. The Obamas message didn’t feel very personal and the true meaning of why we celebrate CHRISTmas was missing. also. Donald Trumps message although short went straight to the heart of Christmas. We are a Christian founded nation and we celebrate the birth of our Savior, one way, by saying Merry Christmas. I am thankful he addressed this issue.
The one big difference I see in the Holiday messages is the lack of “We” in the Trump message. It is always “I” with him.
The other difference is: there is no politics in the Reagan and Obama greetings = just one family to another. It sounds like Trump is still campaigning. No warmth.
Ouch Patricia! PRESIDENT elect Trump said he loves us all. There is no mention of love in Obama’s card. Our Lord and Savior tells us to love one another. I’m so thankful to Him for showing our country mercy and not giving us 4 more years of Obama in HRC.
Obama has left out all reference to Christmas which is a Christian celebration. Not only did he not say “Merry Christmas” he has removed all symbols affiliated with Christmas (i.e. tree, decorations, red and green colors….) Thankfully Reagan and Trump did not!
Obama did say Merry Christmas twice, very clearly and quite loudly.
It’s unfair to consider this as Trump’s Christmas address. It’s Dec 1st. Although I don’t have high expectations for his Christmas address I think we ought to be fair. Both Reagan’s and Obama’s addresses seemed heartfelt and putting political feelings aside I think they were both wonderful.
