HOUSTON, Texas - Presidential candidate Ted Cruz released the following statement on Christmas Eve:
"As we prepare to celebrate our Savior's birth, we thank God for redeeming the whole world through the gift of His Son.
"Even as American families face challenging economic circumstances and as our nation faces threats from those who seek to extinguish our way of life, Christmas reminds us of the unfading hope of the Star of Bethlehem. That same hope illuminates each soul, guides us through uncertainty, and reminds us to share in His everlasting joy.
"America's grateful and generous spirit is still very much alive throughout our cities and towns. Thousands of families participate in Salvation Army's annual Angel Tree program, bringing Christmas cheer to children who otherwise may not receive a gift. Wreaths Across America partners with local businesses, volunteers, and organizations to lay memorial wreaths at hundreds of locations - including 230,000 wreaths honoring our fallen heroes at Arlington Cemetery. And communities across the country continue to launch local efforts to serve their neighbors. To take one example, in Cloverdale, Indiana the police department partnered with high school FFA students to host a Christmas celebration, providing gifts to more than 600 children and serving meals to 146 families. These are just a few of the countless acts of charity in our midst.
"Families, churches, and communities continue to bring the light of Christ to our fellow citizens. Heidi and I are grateful for Americans' generosity, and most of all, we are thankful for God's willingness to send His Son to us. We pray that during this Christmas season, we remember that little child born in a manger, and we cherish the time we have with family and loved ones to reflect on the blessings the Lord continues to bestow upon us."

Nice message, especially his willingness to praise God.
Let’s pray that in November 2016 we can thank God for President Cruz redeeming the whole United States from the satan Obama.
Merry Christmas Mr. Vice President.
All I want for Christmas is President Ted Cruz in 2016!
Eddie, come here. *SMACK*
Vice president indeed!
It will be wonderful to have a President who isn’t ashamed of his faith or unwilling to express it for fear of offending someone.
Since God hold the nations in the palm of His hand, it would be the height of foolishness to not praise God, especially on the celebration of the incarnation of Christ.
May the Cruz family receive God’s Blessings as he strives to make America Work again... and reverse the course that the liberals have established. May all have a Merry Christmas... and let’s pray that when we celebrtate the birth of Christ next year, Ted Cruz will be President-elect!!
Very Politically incorrect. Well Done Ted!
Merry Christmas PRESIDENT CRUZ!!!
Me too! Merry Christmas to you Julie and a Happy New Year!!!
The biggest problem in the USA isn’t Barack Obama, as I have attempted tirelessly to point out.
It’s the fools who elected and then tolerated him.
A President Cruz of himself could not do anything about that.
He might or might not be a good person to even inspire the fools to repent of what they had in their hearts making this possible — Ted is only a man, and if people keep on thinking only a man can fix our problem, then they will miss the real answer of the Man Upstairs.
Funny, all I want for Chanukkah next year is Ted Cruz for President 2016.
May both our dreams come true. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
