William Fitzsimmons







This is William Fitzsimmons and he is a singer that I love dearly. I'm going to make him a project and do a piece of art of him. I like his side profile, and he has such an intriguing face. I'm very excited to do something with this picture!

If Everyday was like Christmas

There is a Christmas song that Elvis Presely does, If Everyday was like Christmas, and he says in it, "Oh why can't everyday be like Christmas?"
It got me thinking... yeah. Why can't everyday be like Christmas? Christmas is the time of giving, donating to the poor, seeing your family, remembering Jesus Christ's birth, and time off work to relax. Why can't we do this everyday of the year? Why wait for Christmas? The 25th of December is only a date, and we don't need a certain date to celebrate these things. Why not always cook a turkey dinner for a poor family, why not celebrate Jesus' birth in July? There isn't a time or place for something so special. If it truly is special, you will celebrate it more than one day a year. Lets always bake bread for our neighbor, lets always remember why Jesus Christ was born, lets always see our family, lets always give to the poor, lets always send each other cards.

Bring Christmas year round.

The Birth of Jesus

18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example , was minded to put her away privily. 20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people form their sins. 22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuael, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
