With all the hubbub in the media about taking Christmas out of the season, I think this author has got it right!
May you not forget the reason for the season. May the Christ of Christmas bring you peace even in the midst of outward strife.

was the holiday created for jesus? or did the curch take an existing holiday and attach jesus so we feel better about celebrating it? wy is that most christian holidays are celebrated by everyone? is it better that the jewish holidays arent as widely celebrated and thing like schools and stores are still open on them? is that more living outside the world? and if its all about celebrating jesus- what is with the church not only promoting this whole thing about consumerism in our children- but also having people who cant afford to spoil their kids sign up so someone else can continue to say "its stuff that makes us happy?"
just some random things that popped into my head as i typed...
'nother question- am i, myself, willing to give up gift-getting and too-much-food-eating? i dont think i know that answer...
Your thoughts are good ones, JS! I'm especially intrigued with your question about being willing to give up MY stuff for others.
