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

If you're like me, Christmas is your favorite time of the year. It's a season to enjoy great food, warm fellowship and laughter with those we love.

Yet it's much more than just getting together with family and friends to share presents—as wonderful as that is.

Christmas celebrates God's presence among us. It is "Immanuel"—God with us. It's a fresh reminder that the Creator of all sent his only Son as a vulnerable baby born in a Bethlehem stable. And He did so in order that He might have a relationship with us—with you and with me.

And that's the best Gift of all time!

Thank you for the gift of your friendship—and your partnership and prayers as we defend life, liberty and the family.

Anita joins me in wishing you a wonderful and joyous Merry Christmas!
