In this holy time of year, Christians everywhere give thanks that over 2,000 years ago, God sent his only son into the world to be the savior of all mankind. The birth of Jesus Christ is the true miracle we celebrate each Christmas. He is the ultimate source of our joy, our hope, and our sense of peace and goodwill as we gather with family and loved ones. It is such a great time of the year. This is why we can never stop saying that beautiful phrase, "Merry Christmas." This holiday we give thanks for many blessings God has bestowed upon us. We pray for the safety of our men and women in uniform at home and abroad, and we ask God to guide us, give us strength, and watch over us in this pivotal year ahead. With his help, by this time next year, we will be well on our way to making America safer, stronger, greater, and more prosperous than ever before. Once again, Melania and I wish you a very merry Christmas. God bless you all. And I can't end without a flashback to one of my favorite Trump Christmas moments of all time. From his first term doing his Santa Calls to a kid who was 7 years old and asking if they still believe in Santa because "at 7, it's marginal, right?" ONLY TRUMP CAN PUL THAT OFF.  HILARIOUS! Watch here: JUST IN: President Trump will call the TROOPS at 5:30PM tonight from Palm Beach, Florida for Christmas Eve He will participate in NORAD Santa Calls at 4:30: "Are you still a believer in Santa? Because at 7, it's marginal, right?"
