Christmas is a special time for all of us. Christmas never grows old and we never grow too old to celebrate the joy of the season. Christmas is a time for reflection; a time to reflect on the birth of Jesus, the unbounded love of God which His coming signaled, and the promise of forgiveness and salvation He fulfilled. Christmas is a time to bond with family and friends who we may have neglected during the year.

On behalf of the ReggaeMe staff, I wish a blessed, peaceful & happy Christmas to all ReggaeMe supporters.
