Small rant... I went shopping the other day and could not find a single nativity scene gift bag. There were snowmen, gnomes, reindeer and of course thousands of santas, but sadly, a manger scene was nowhere to be found. I'm always looking for ways to point to JesusWe are attending a business Christmas party and I simply wanted to bring the required white elephant gift in a nativity gift bag. Amongst all the "happy holidays" and winter wonderland themes I struggled to even find the words "Merry Christmas" etched into a sack. It was more than disappointing. It was down right disturbing. We shouldn't have to drive across town to Hobby Lobby to find the true meaning of Christmas representedAlthough I do love Hobby Lobby and don't mind driving to support a Christian owned business. That's not the point. The point is this - in a world that wants to celebrate grinches and elves - let's do all that we can to keep Christ in Christmas! Start a new Christmas TraditionDid you know there are 24 chapters in the book of Luke? If you begin on December 1st and read a chapter a day, you will have read the entire book by Christmas Eve. You and your family can wake up on Christmas morning with a fresh understanding of why we celebrate Christmas. Join The GroupEverything is more fun with friends!
