Madam Speaker, today, we remember the real reason for the season. C is for the Christ child who was born in Bethlehem that first Christmas night. H is for the hope for all humanity that came down to us. R is for the fact that there was no room in the inn for Him. The question remains: Is there room for Him in our world and hearts today? I is for Immanuel, which means “God is with us”, and He is indeed with us through whatever we are going through and will be with us until the end. S is for the shepherds, commoners, farmers and keepers of the flock, who were the first to be entrusted with the great news of His birth. T is for the three wise men, who came searching for the newborn king of Israel. The wise still seek Him today. M is for the fact that He makes all things new again. A is for all, because the promise of Christmas is for all people everywhere. S is for the Saviour, who frees the whole world and every individual from fear, sin, shame and sadness, and as a result, a weary world rejoices. From my family to others and to all Canadians, merry Christmas and happy new year.
