Christmas
Sitting in my office having a cup of coffee, thinking about Christmas, wondering why I'm not in the Christmas spirit.
I think I am struggling with trying to overcome the world's idea of what the Christmas spirit is all about. Lauren and I have fought hard not to give in to the consumer mentality this season. This is easier said than done when you are bombarded with the idea that to be in the spirit you have to shop, shop, shop.
So, I'm taking a brief pause to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and regain the proper focus.
Mine and Lauren's prayer for you this Christmas is that you experience the Christ that makes this holiday so special.
Merry Christmas!

Christmas...
Do you ever feel like saying "Bah Hum Bug" during the Christmas season? This obsession with not saying Merry Christmas and substituting Happy Holidays is driving me nuts. Without Christ there would be no Christmas, His birth is what this holiday is all about.
I find it funny that people oposed to Christmas say Happy Holidays willingly without even realizing the Happy Holidays comes from Happy Holy Days. Hmmm, just want to ask "confused much..."
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! May the God of Creation and Salvation come next to you and reveal His truth this Christmas Season.
