Think about it...December 25th used to mean a celebration in excess... Now December 25th calls us to remember the birth of the Savior. Regardless of the origins, it is up to us to make it all that it can be....and to glorify God through it.

If God cannot make the day Holy and void it of its pagan roots, then He is not God and should not be worshiped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lovinghim4ever Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I agree with much of what you say here. Just yesterday my doctor was saying this kind of thing to me. Christmas is so commercialized that I don't look forward to this season any more. I don't much look forward to grocery shopping during the christmas shopping season. Sheya Joie, I am with you on that one. I know exactly what you mean. A few years ago I had my little 2 year old niece with me at Wal-Mart during the Christmas season. I let her walk beside me as I held her hand very securely. I was looking at something on a shelf (I really don't remember what I was looking at). All of a sudden this lady comes out of nowhere, barrels over my niece and reaches across my face to grab something off of the shelf I was looking at. My niece was almost knocked down, and I was very upset. The lady didn't even have the decency to say "Excuse me." People seem to go even nuttier during Christmas time. I saw on the news the other day that there were some people in a store actually playing tug-of-war with some item they both wanted. How very sad! I really don't like going to the store this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
