In a poignant Christmas video, Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) encouraged Alabamians to remember the true reason for Christmas: celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

Aderholt’s video starts with a rendition of “The First Noel” playing as imagery outlining the nativity is shown.

Nearly one-minute in, Aderholt appears and delivers his annual Christmas message.

“As you celebrate this year, I encourage you to also remember whose birthday celebration it truly is: our Savior, Jesus Christ, who was born in that lowly manger more than 2,000 years ago. And I pray for His blessings on your and your family in the new year,” he says.
