R E S O L U T I O N
         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.
