The Relevance of Christmas
Dec 03, 2009 Categorized: Musings •
I’ve a grown a bit weary of the frivolities of Christmas. Cheap strings of lights on houses, larger-than-life candy canes lining driveways, Santa posing for kids’ photos in the mall, junk mail with pictures of shiny red bows on tools offering “More Christmas”...the list goes on and on. All of these things that modern marketing techniques now leverage to benefit our sacred economy threaten to distract us from the real reason we celebrate Christmas. I know, I know, we hear it every year. Jesus is the Reason for the Season. So if that’s the case, than why isn’t He the Focus of the Season? Why do we pour so much energy into decorating our houses and buying gifts yet almost overlook worshiping Him?
