Quote:
Start a new family tradition that involves the story of Christ and brings emphasis on your gathering.

Make sure to share with your children the reason for Christmas celebration.

Avoid certain financial stresses if you can help it. Don't go overboard with gifts. Make things like bread or candy, or gift baskets containing lesser expensive yet thoughtful items.

Skip the outdoor lights and think about something different like a nativity scene or a cross made of holiday foliage.

Bake cookies or bread for your neighbor and send them over with a Christmas card with mention of the love of Christ.

In this day there was a Child born Unto Us who showed us the Way.

His name was Isaac Newton, born Christmas 1642.

Amen.

there's a part of me that wants our society to dispense with most celebrations as they seem to bring a host of negative emotions along with the positives, debt, religious missteps, cultural misunderstandings, social competitveness, and overbearing judgements (i.e. THEY are doing it all wrong). to heck with reverting the celebrations to religious values... with multicultualism and mass immigration, the whole mess is starting to seem less and less relevant to me. but perhaps that is the grinch talking. :wink:
