“Merry Christmas, Texas!

Cecilia and I hope the celebration of our Savior’s birth brings joy, peace, and comfort to you and your families today.”

Texas Representative Beth Van Duyne (R) tweeted out a verse from a prophet from the Old Testament which foretells of Christ’s birth.

“From my family to yours, I wish you a Merry Christmas! "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6”

“Wishing a #MerryChristmas to everyone celebrating in Houston, the state of Texas, across the United States, and around the world!”

Texas State Senator Roland Gutierrez (D) tweeted a picture of his family as he wished Texans a “Merry Christmas” and “Happy New Year”.
