China’s Communist Regime Tightens Grip on Christmas Celebrations

By Michael Zhuang | The Epoch Times Authorities limit church services, campus activity, and public displays, leaving holiday events largely confined to officially sanctioned venues. Christmas Eve passed quietly across much of China this year as the Chinese communist regime tightened restrictions on religious gatherings, public celebrations, and even seasonal decorations, according to interviews with pastors, Christians, and residents across the country. House churches in several provinces said planned Christmas services were blocked by state security officials, universities warned students against public celebrations or social media posts related to Christmas, and police in Shanghai detained people participating in spontaneous street activities.

Secret Santa Pays Emergency Vet Bills for Families in Wheat Ridge

By Nate Belt | KDVR FOX31 DENVER (KDVR) — The term Christmas miracle often gets tossed around when something good happens around this time, but at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital on the very day itself, an employee says she witnessed a true miracle first hand. Veronica Suazo has worked in animal care for a handful of years, but what she saw on Christmas morning was a first. “I was just a little emotional,” Suazo said. Even though Santa had long returned to the North Pole, his giving spirit had rubbed off on at least one man who came into the animal hospital around 8 a.m. READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT KDVR FOX31

Christmas Is More Than Tradition It Is a Claim That Changed History

By Tom Griffin | Commentary, The Daily Signal The Christmas celebration is one of joy and excitement. No matter your age there is always something special about Christmas morning and the days that follow. We know that we are a part of something unique and everlasting. Truly, Christmas reveals so much about life, faith and family. First, Christmas shows what life is about and what life’s goal is. These days are meant to invoke a sense of deep wonder. The Christian claim is that the God of the universe, who made the billions of stars and billions of galaxies—the God who knows everything about you—became man and was born of a woman. It is one thing to claim that God is real. “About nine-in-ten U.S. adults believe in God or another higher power,” according...

Good News or Fake News: Peace — Real News with Integrity

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice If hope teaches us to look forward, then peace teaches us how to stand firm right now. But here’s the tension every Coloradan feels—especially during the holidays: We live in a culture that profits from our anxiety. Fear sells. Outrage spreads. And when everything is loud, peace is mistaken for passivity… when in reality, peace is a kind of strength, a power that shapes who you are. Therefore, the question for you is, “What source is shaping who you are—the Good News or the fake news?” Because trusting the Good News builds confidence in the peace you carry. Or in other words, PEACE is Real News with Integrity. It’s not fragile. Peace is not the absence of conflict. Simply, peace is the inner integrity of a life aligned...

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice From the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C., to the Golden Dome in Denver, Republicans serving Colorado paused Wednesday not just to take time with family, but to turn to Twitter/X to communicate with constituents on the occasion of Christmas and the beginning of Hanukkah. "Jesus' coming is good news for all people," U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert said in a video she posted. "Believers and unbelievers, saints and sinners, Republicans and Democrats.

Historians say a Denver electrician helped spark a Christmas tradition years before it swept the U.S.

By Por Jaijongkit | The Colorado Sun The tradition of hanging colored lights outside homes for Christmas originated in Denver in 1914 when a local electrician found a creative way to bring holiday cheer to his bedridden son. David Dwight Sturgeon dipped lights in red and green paint, strung them on an electric wire, and hung them around a pine tree for his ailing son to admire from his bedroom window. Soon neighbors began making their own outdoor light displays, and Denver Post coverage helped spread the practice through the city. While Sturgeon wasn’t the first person to display outdoor Christmas lights, the tradition he inspired in Denver is the first known instance of outdoor home Christmas lights becoming widespread in any city, according to History Colorado researchers.  R...
