Christmas is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. The date of the celebration is traditional, and is not considered to be his actual date of birth.� Christmas festivities often combine the commemoration of Jesus' birth with various secular customs, many of which have been influenced by earlier winter festivals. In most places around the world, Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25. This is the description found in the Wikipedia encyclopedia [read more here.] But also at this time of the year we like to share good times with friends and family, give to those less fortunate, and try to be better people.

VCO is privileged you have given us the chance to come into your homes and bring a bit of our community to you. We would like to wish the Las Vegas community Peace, Good Health, Joy in your lives, and a very Merry Christmas.

On a Sad Note

My mother was the kindest; most loving person I have ever known. Anyone who met her was instantly taken with her warm heart and gentle soul. On December 16, 2007, one day before her 93rd birthday she passed away peacefully.�
