Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged Ghanaians to spread the joy of Christmas among their relations and across the nation.
He said this in a message to mark Christmas, which is being celebrated across the world today.
Christmas is an annual Christian festival which commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. It is observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration.
“I especially wish you, your family and your loved ones, the manifold blessings of Christmas. As we celebrate this annual festive occasion, we should let the merry go around to our friends, colleagues, neighbours and the needy. Let the joy go around, let the love go around and the gifts and food also go around. That will make everyone’s Christmas special and full,” the Vice President stated.
According to him, “The birth of Jesus was the beginning of a lifetime of impact and influence from a little village called Bethlehem. His God-assigned mission changed the world and redefined where he came from. In that light, let this season bring to our attention the fact that timeless impact starts with the birth of a massive mission from a little place that will last generations. Let us celebrate this occasion responsibly and safely.
