Do we REALLY need non-Christians to associate shopping with Christ? If we are saying that Jesus is the reason for the season and then fussing about people taking Christ out of Christmas and THEN adding to the craziness by running about and fussing about buying and buying and buying. What kind of witness is that?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735948672915158770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322197441691592608.post-71159199855735645742008-12-04T06:04:00.000-06:002008-12-04T06:04:00.000-06:00You know I read this the other day and thought I p...You know I read this the other day and thought I posted on it...maybe you have your blog owner approval on.<BR/>I think your thoughts here are right on. <BR/>Maybe it would be better if we separated the holidays. They could have their shopping frenzy and we could have a birthday party for Jesus. I would take the pressure off us....how cool would it be to only give a gift to Him? Or just to give a gift to someone in need in His name?Sharon Brumfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662853880018410132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322197441691592608.post-63017277966012616082008-12-03T07:34:00.000-06:002008-12-03T07:34:00.000-06:00BRAVO!What an awesome post.
