There is no biblical
instruction to celebrate Christmas or to emphasize the birth
of Christ. Because of the human origin of this holiday, it
has become so materialized that things are the emphasis of
everyone's thinking. |

The denominational
world tries to pressure its members to focus on the birth
of Christ, but in doing so layers of guilt are imposed and
competition gets complicated as one Christmas program tries
to outdo the other. |

Lawsuits fly on
everything from manger scenes on certain properties to whether
schools can sing Christmas carols. In spite of our rhetoric,
most of us are relieved when the season is ove. |

I can't tell you
how scary it can be walking onto a movie and suddenly joining
this family, it's like going to somebody else's Christmas
dinner, everyone knows everyone and you're there and you're
not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing. |
