I heard recently that this Christmas was going to be an abysmal failure because of the current economic crisis. After listening to the report, all I could feel was an immense sadness. Apparently at some point in the past we decided that celebrating the virgin birth of the Christ wasn't good enough. Now we are so consumed with materialism and greed we have constructed around Christmas that we have forgotten the free gift of the Messiah to this lost and decaying world. Christ came to this earth and took on flesh so that we may know Him. Instead of honoring the Son of Man for His sacrifice, we spit upon His name every time we replace His love with the empty promises of this world.
True Christmas hasn't ever been, and will never be dependent on how much we spend on each other, feeding our greed. It is about the Father sending His only Son to this sinful earth to be the eternal sacrifice for our sins, back to the Father. If anything else is added to this, it is heresy and is straight from the lying, twisted mind of Satan.
