Christ in Christmas!

Well, Christmas is almost here…just 3 more days! We were at WalMart just last night, and as Angie and I were checking out, doing some last minute Christmas shopping, I got my bags, scooted Alaina over in the shopping cart, placed the bags in the cart, and exclaimed to the cashier “Have a Merry Christmas!” And almost instinctively, without a moment’s hesitation, she replied, “Happy Holidays”, closed out her drawer, and went on break. There was no smile on her face, there was no joy in her voice, and there was no sense of anticipation as the day of Christmas approached just around the corner.
I told Ang, “I just don’t see what the big deal is about saying ‘Merry Christmas’…we have been saying it for years!”
It’s evident that we are living in a day where “Taking Christ out of Christmas” is not just a fancy little phrase that sounds good in a sermon…IT IS REAL!!! For some reason, Christ has REALLY offended some people…and He has offended some people who are in power, because they have done something about it!
This Christmas…in a land where people from all walks of life are determined not to bring Christ into Christmas, I’m begging you…bring Christ into as many people’s Christmas as you possibly can! Merry Christmas to all…and to all, a Christ-filled night!
