A Christmas Message is a time for reflection and celebration. It is a time to come together with loved ones and share in the joy of the season. It is also a time to remember those who are less fortunate and to reach out to those in need.
"Christmas is a time for giving and receiving," said Pope Francis. "It is a time to open our hearts to those who are suffering and to share our blessings with others."
According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, 90% of Americans celebrate Christmas. Of those who celebrate, 80% say that it is important to them to spend time with family and friends.
