Fr. Chris Alar is a gift from God. This man of God is true and his sermon should be listened to. Those that do not believe ...give it a listen at least.

My Catholic faith taught me the true meaning of "Christ mass" at midnight in December 25, that's why I always go to the cold winter midnight mass since I can remember from age five being awaken by my Grandma seventy years ago. Thank you, Fr. Chris! God bless the world!

My Christmas wish is for my children to receive holy communion again. Mother Mary pray for us 🙏

Merry Christmas Father Chris

God bless Fr. Chris and all the priests.

✝️🙏🏽 Father Chris, In my mind you are a Saint. You spoke of children of today and how they may not be aware of some of the facts you shared with us today- I am a ‘cradle Catholic’ (unfortunately never attended parochial school) but went to catechism and Sunday Mass, and altho’ I read’ (how much I retained?) the Bible several times, everything was brand new to me today. Had hardships in my life (which caused PTSD) and put terribly negative thoughts in my head. I’ve only started listening to EWTN recently saying daily Devine Mercy chaplet, daily rosary and Sunday Mass + and I feel my faith is getting stronger. I’ve heard you give other talks and I value them - you are a wealth of knowledge (thank you God) and keep sending out the strength! You’re an Angel, too!

Thank you Fr Chris ❤

Thank you father Chris for bringing back good memories especially with Charlie brown. I remember when I immigrated in the 70s the immigration officer said to me that we celebrate Christian holidays, I bet you now no one dares to say it anymore. Keep on with your mission.God bless you and we love you.

Very interesting. Thank u Fr Chris

WOW Father Chris THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU This is Gold!!!

Thank you so much God bless you

You are such a gift to us Fr. Alar I thank our Lord for you and your sound teaching in this trouble confused world. God bless you and thank you for choosing to be a priest. 🙏🙏❤

ChristMAS, CandleMAS... I see now. The Mass of the Presentation of the child Jesus and blessing of candles.

We need Christ Jesus in our schools and maybe We wouldn’t have so much crime, hate, in our world today. May God help us all

I love Christmas. Some people who are claiming to be Christian, don't celebrate. But the Bible says that the anti Christ denies that Jesus has come in the flesh. But Christmas says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Very important.

I'm so happy to be a Catholic and I'm so grateful to you, Father Chris, for all your research. Thank you!

Fr.Chris thank you for sharing I listen to you alot. I have turned to Catholicism and I feel so closer to God. I have the Hallow app I have been doing Advent on Hallow since it started. Hope to hear from you one day. Love you and God bless and Merry Christmas 🙏❤

Thank you Fr Chris Alar, for your explanation about Christmas

Thanks Fr. Chris! Just what I need to hear!

Thank you Fr. Chris Alar

Father said, “Amazing what our kids don’t know!” The sad reality is most Catholics (including myself) don’t know or have only a vague idea of these things Father just taught us about Christmas because we aren’t being taught by the Church anymore. Hopefully that will change. Thank you Fr. Alar for this wonderful video and amazing teaching tool that should be played in every Catholic parish, school, etc. around the world. I will send it to everyone I know. Merry Christmas!

Merry early CHRISTMAS EVERYONE 👼✝️⛄🎄🦌⛪🙏❤️💙❤️🙏🛐

Thank you Fr.Alar for reminding me of the way we have celebrated the birth of Christ during my childhood back in Europe, in Hungary and Checkoslovakia. God bless you and keep you healthy and safe.

Thank you Father Alar uplifting message uplifting ❤️🙏🙏🙏

Very educational and interesting

I cried when you showed the Christmas scene from Charlie Brown. I remember. God must have been heartbroken when they took it out.

Thanks Fr. Chris, I have been raised Catholic. I’m over 50 yrs old and I have learned so much from your video about Christmas. 🎄🕷️🕸️🎅🏻 🕯️⭐️ This was sent to me by my first cousin, Liz. I will share it with those that believe and others that might question the faith. ✝️ God bless you with a long and healthy life. You are one of the most interesting priests I have ever seen. I will pray for the ministry to strive. Merry Christmas Father. ❣️

Father you are so awesome to share our Catholic faith

Thank you, Father!

Father Chris thank you for taking different aspects of Christmas & defining them, have a blessed Christmas - New Year 🎄

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

We sang in the choir since 1996. And we stopped since the pandemic I always look forward to singing at the Christmas eve mass at midnight we usually sing O Holy Night that's when I get the HOLY SPIRIT touch my soul. I surely missed singing. God bless you Fr. Chris thank you for explaining Christmas. ✝️

Hard to remember so thanks for repeating every year!

Thank you Father Chris😎

I was raised Protestant, and became Catholic going on 3 years, and I NEVER knew that 12 Days of 🎄 is connected with the Catechism. I grew up hearing that song every 🎄. It's 1 of those songs that everyone hears on the radio either decorating their homes for 🎄, or in a department store, or shopping mall every 🎄.

Thank you so much Father Chris for an enlightening homily in our family is Christmas time a holy season of celebration w family and friends happy holidays Father to your family too to the entire shrine thanks

May God Bless you and May you shine with the light of Jesus Christ ❤🙏✝️🌹🕊

Thank God Fr. Chris for all your teaching, and all your talks, thank God for technology, It makes me understand more about our catholic faith. Thank you for your faithful service to the people of God. May God’s abundant blessings be upon you now and always...

We love you Fr.Chris.. thank you for opening our eyes

Thank You Fr.Chris, MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄♥️

Good morning from us here in Europe I'm a bit sad every Christmas coz I miss my loved ones we love you Father Dave I pray for you & your family

Thank you! Fr.Chris Merry Christmas🎅 ⭐🚼🛐🎅🎄🐪🐪🐫

Father Chris, i have learnt so much abt being Catholic In the past few weeks since I stumbled upon one of your clips, compared to the many years I got baptised many years ago. You have made me love God more and more and know our Father better. ♥️ God bless you abundantly.

I know that I’ve mentioned to you before that I lost my mom on December 20. She had a sudden illness and didn’t suffer terribly before she died. We were completely devastated, but I guess it wasn’t about us. My mom lived a faith filled life, and I just watched this today for the first time. (Still catching up) I enjoyed learning about the various dates and their significance, and La Vigilia, 12/24, was the bigger holiday in my family. Our house was always the place to be. The best information that you gave was at the very end of the talk, when you mentioned that the most souls go to heaven on Christmas. I hope that my mom was among the group who left Purgatory Christmas Day 2001. Thank you Father and God bless you. 🎄

Great lesson! I listen from Prague lot of them... God bless you father!

What a wealth of information is contained in these talks. Thank you! I will listen for a third time tonight!

I LOVE this!!!!! Thank you Father Chris.

God Bless You!🙏🙏

Fr. Chris. Thank you so much for this information. I hope many here will use it to teach their children, no matter how old the truth about the origins of Christmas. Everyone wants to debunk Christian origins it seems and attribute it all to the pagans, I hope they wise up before long. There is a battle going on for the souls of the young, we need to sharpen our spiritual weapons and take our children back for Christ.

Very interesting stories Father! Thank you!

Loved this talk, Fr. Chris. When you explained how Coca Cola was the company that gave Santa his famous look it made me burst out laughing. The thought that came to mind was several bottles of coke placed in his sleigh amongst all those toys. All of the caffeine in each bottle is what keeps Santa awake throughout that night. Lol I hope your Christmas will be full of blessings.

Thank you very much Father Chris, this was a great talk we as a family sat down and watched it. So amazed with information and the depth of our Catholic faith. God Bless You Father you are gift from God to proclaim his message. Take care and have Great Christmas. Also father I purchased the E book explaining the faith and reading it thank you very much again it’s awesome 🙏

Thank you for the Charlie Brown clip. I remember this from the early sixties. I had no idea they took it out. How sad for us. Atheism rules 99 % of the tv networks.

Glad to review this Amazing History of ChristMASS & our One True Catholic Faith! Thank you for everything Fr. Chris!! May our Lord's ChristMass Blessings Be To All!!!💚♥️💙

Thank you ! For All you do
