As I look at it _ there is a whole other aspect of this holiday-the economic side.
In my opinion the gift giving aspect of Christmas has gone nuts!
The retail machinery sends us messages to buy and give because -when we do - all will be right with the world....if we give our wife a Lexus or a diamond we will be loved forever-if we buy our kids a laptop or at the least an Ipod they will be smarter-cooler-prettier!
What does all of this have to do with Christians recognizing/celebrating the birth of Christ?
What would happen if Christians said NO to the retail fever and redirected ALL that money to helping others?
What do you think?
There I go getting radical!
