Irving Berlin and Bing Crosby gave us White Christmas in 1942.

Blue Christmas was released by Ernest Tubb in 1949. Elvis later made the song a Christmas classic in 1957.

Following a star, Wise Men celebrated the birth of the King of the Jews. Would they find Him dressed in purple?

“When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh (Matthew 2:9-11 KJV).”

Jesus, Son of David was worthy of royalty's purple attire.

“So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:17-18 KJV).”

Jesus was the King of the Jews; yet; Mary wrapped Him in swaddling clothes (Luke 2:12).

Jesus; You gave us a purple Christmas.
