Dear Friends:
Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad! Today is very a special celebration with a lot of meanings in the western countries and also important for the Christian communities in the rest of the world.
Its roots came from the New Testament – Second book of the Bible - that gives the historic references of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem.
Today, Christmas is a family day when children, parents and friends exchange gifts that remind us the presents - food, clothes,...- that the small Jesus received in the birthday according to one of the Gospels written by Luke.
My best wishes of happiness for all of you in these Holidays and forever!
¡Mis mejores deseos de felicidad para todos ustedes en estas Fiestas y por siempre!
Domingo
