@cnn: CNN’s Will Ripley reports from Bethlehem, the biblical birthplace of Jesus, where, amid Israel’s war in Gaza, this year's Christmas looks and feels different. There’s no tree, the Christmas market is closed and the Church of the Nativity, which usually has thousands of visitors, is now empty. The area has been blockaded by Israel, citing “security threats.” Palestinians, the UN, and human rights groups call it “collective punishment,” with businesses now shuttered and people cut off from their homes. #israel #gaza #palestinian #bethlehem #cnn #news

Welllll Christmas is a pagan holiday so…. Right on! Christians probably shouldn’t be cutting trees and decorating them seeing as how the Bible tells us not to… nor does It tell us Jesus was born 12/25
