That Coca-Cola, makers of a fizzy drink usually served cold, got it indelibly associated, in the minds of the gullible and thick, with a midwinter festival, and even convinced many people that they invented the modern image of Father Christmas.

That it always snows on Christmas day in TV soaps and sitcoms, but practically never does in reality.

From today's "Word on Fire" gospel reflection:

The King comes as a helpless infant, born of insignificant parents in a small town of a distant outpost of the Roman Empire. He will conquer through the finally irresistible power of love, the same power with which he made the universe.

The true miracle of Christmas
The truth will set you free  - John 8:32
Truth is not an abstraction, but a person - Edith Stein
Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. - CS Lewis
Joy is the Gigantic Secret of Christians - GK Chesterton
