Robbie, I think you are right with this perspective. Sometimes, I think to myself that it might have been better if a long time ago the well meaning early church pioneers had not come up with the Christmas celebration beacuse although the purpose of taking a specific time and devoting it to the remembering and celebration of the coming of Jesus to earth is a great concept, we Christians have so neglected this focus and proper celebration that sometimes I wonder if it is even worth it to take part in it. Then I remember though that as long as me and my family keep the focus right as you say in your blog, then the other stuff (within reason) is okay to enjoy and particpate in. So, that was a long comment with the end result being: I agree! God bless you and your family, and Merry Christmas. P.S. What do you mean Santa is not real????!!! |
