christmas do-over

What would it take for us to have a 100% christmas do-over? Perhaps the christmas machine is just too big to even think of returning to a simple, sincere acknowledgement of jesus birth?

Maybe what I need to do is learn to play along with the current state of things, and quietly, off to the side, begin developing my own plan!? It will be a simple plan, one that is built around an acknowledgement of the birth of Jesus,God with us!

How can I take out, for starters: gift giving, parties, and home decorations?
I'd like to leave in christmas cards and extreme acts of kindness and generosity!

Any other suggestions?

Hey Doug, I'm a friend of Kathryn's at FUMC Dallas. I'm in the same boat with the need for a Christmas do-over! Yipe!
