| H.R. No. 2258 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, For people throughout the world, Christmas is one of | ||
| the most joyous and meaningful times of the year; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On December 25, Christians commemorate the arrival | ||
| of a savior who promised redemption and eternal life to all | ||
| humankind; from his birth in Bethlehem to his crucifixion, Jesus | ||
| Christ led a life that has inspired billions of followers over the | ||
| course of two millennia; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Yuletide season is a unique time of year, when | ||
| loved ones from near and far gather together to enjoy cherished | ||
| traditions, exchange gifts, and express their gratitude for one | ||
| another; in keeping with the generosity and kindness the season | ||
| inspires, countless people devote themselves to helping the less | ||
| fortunate during the holidays, donating food, clothing, and toys or | ||
| volunteering at shelters, senior centers, or other charitable | ||
| organizations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The pageantry of Christmas is a sight to behold, as | ||
| homes, buildings, and streets are festooned with twinkling lights | ||
| and greenery and enlivened with displays that delight both young | ||
| and old; moreover, across the nation, communities celebrate the joy | ||
| of the season with numerous events, ranging from plays and concerts | ||
| at churches and schools to festivals and parades; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Amidst all the bustle and festivities, the original | ||
| meaning of Christmas still reveals itself, and as Texans observe | ||
| this treasured holiday, they may take to heart the virtues that | ||
| define the true spirit of the season and endeavor to carry them | ||
| forward in the year ahead; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate Christmas Day 2023. | ||
