Christmas – A Joyous Occasion?
copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2015 We are so accustomed to celebrating holidays with a certain emotion which seems intrinsic to that holiday that we generally don’t think about why or if that emotion is appropriate to the holiday. Good Friday is clearly a somber occasion and our emotions are quite turned down on that day.…
