A Commercial Christmas
The Christmas rush is in full swing. People aggressively pull items off sparse shelves. Parents try to get their children popular toys. Rudeness prevails if one doesn’t get what they need to make their Christmas “special.”
What’re we teaching kids when we have them focus on material things? We’re telling them items are what will make them happy. If kids don’t get what they want, will their Christmas be spoiled?
We buy into commercialism when we make our children believe it’s all about what’s under the tree.
Christmas is about spending time with family, recognizing our blessings, celebrating Jesus, and connecting to the Holy Spirit.
Society makes you believe that it’s about what money can buy, but to quote the grinch…
“Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more.” – The Grinch
