    Thanks Red! Wonderful post and Awesome video of Ronaldus Magnus. And, as President Reagan alluded to, may we be thankful for that “One Special Child”.

    This is also an indication of the degredation of our culture since the 80′s. That is not the entire christmas address. He actually went on and said how he and Nancy were putting a candle in their window to remember the people living under communism in poland and other eastern european countries. Something that Obama would do regarding North Korea and Iran if he had any decency.

    That warms my heart and I miss Reagan.

    Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel
    Isaiah 7:14

    To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

    And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
    And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

    And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
    And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
    Luke 1:27-31

    And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
    To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

    And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
    And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

    And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
    And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

    And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

    For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
    And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

    And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
    Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

    And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

    And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

    And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
    And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

    But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
    And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
    Luke 2:4-20

    Merry Blessed Christmas to you and your family Red. Thank you for this.

    This is what Christmas is all about-no politics, no pandering, just a message from the heart on what Christmas is all about. This is what being Presidential really is.

    God Bless you, President Reagan, your spirit lives in all who want to right the wrongs in the USA.

      Well said girlfriend!

    Wow. We haven’t had a president like Reagan since. I mean the gap between Reagan and those that have succeeded him is gigantic! I am just amazed that I have never seen a president give such an address since Reagan. It’s sad. We need Reaganites, i.e. disciples of Reagan to rise to leadership in this country. His example and the principles he espoused are the only solution to all the issues we face in this nation.

    What a Great Man – - – lost to the liberal mind.

    Merry Christmas and May the Lord Be With You.

    Beautiful and eloquent!

    Makes you stop and think how great life can really be with a humble and honorable man in the White House.

    We are so far from that vision right now and need to find the way back, quickly if not sooner.

    Sarah Palin Wishes Everyone a Merry Christmas….

    Merry Christmas!

    My family and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I offer this to all because Christmas is a holiday for all, whether you are a Christian believer or not. The message of Christmas is full of hope, peace, joy, and the fellowship of all mankind; so I find it amazing that every year we hear more accounts of a ramped up “war on Christmas.”

    How sad and ironic that a handful of grinches are at war with the annual celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace, whose coming was prophesied centuries earlier and was then gloriously heralded by the angels with a blessing for “peace on earth” and “good will toward men.” Even if one doesn’t believe the story, can’t one at least recognize the beauty of the message? Or at the very least, let everyone else enjoy the season without throwing a temper tantrum at the sight of a Nativity scene? People who feel affronted by a baby in a humble Manger display or a few Christmas carols have truly lost all sense of proportion and seem to be most in need of some holiday cheer.

    At a time when our country is divided on so many things, Christmas unites us. It’s a beautiful part of our culture, and for many of us it’s a beautiful part of our Faith. In fact, for believers it’s “the main thing.” In today’s tumultuous times we can remember the bible’s record of Three Wise Men from the East who received an angelic message of Jesus’ birth. They may have been unsure of the message, so they sought truth. They trekked to Bethlehem to find out more. There, they found Jesus and they honored Him. The story of the wise men reminds us that today wise men still seek Him. So in this season especially, let’s seek truth.

    Let’s celebrate with family and friends. Let’s shout a cheery “Merry Christmas” to everyone we meet. Let’s remember our brave men and women in uniform defending us far from home. And let’s all pray for a peaceful New Year.

    From our home to yours, Merry Christmas.

    Since we have no real legal President in our Country today to wish this great Country a Merry Christmas, but rather a terrorist and a traitor. I found it appropriate to play a Merry Christmas from the greatest President of our lifetime.An American and a true Conservative, Ronald Regan.
