The Spirit of Santa!?
Posted by Administrator | Under Rants and Raves Friday Dec 9, 2005I got in line at CVS yesterday morning behind a thirty-something woman who was talking to the cashier about Christmas. She said that her 5 year old son came home from school and had the following conversation with her…
Little Boy: “Mommy, Johnny at school told me there was no such thing as Santa Claus.”
Mother: “Honey, there was a Santa Claus. He’s dead now. We celebrate his spirit at Christmas every year.”
Oh My God! All these years I thought we were celebrating Jesus Christ’s spirit every year at Christmas. I had to bite my lip really hard to keep from telling this woman that SHE was the problem with people nowadays. We can’t be expected to keep Christ in Christmas if we don’t understand what it’s all about ourselves.
Maybe we celebrate Santa’s spirit on Black Friday; but Christmas is about CHRIST !!!
