Santa Claus
Frosty the Snowman
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
The Christmas Elf
The Grinch, etc. etc.

What happened to Jesus?  What happened to the Nativity?

I went to the "Castle" in Muskogee the other night. There were over one-hundred huge blow up Santas, Micky Mouse with reindeer, ducks, snowmen, and on and on.  There were two or three barns, but no Jesus.  No Nativity.  Santa was leaning out of the barn.  Ho, ho, ho.  I couldn't help but wonder why you would have a barn with no Baby in the Manger.

Did we give up the battle?  Have we lost the war on Christmas?  What is the problem with the Christ in Christmas.  It seems like the whole world is afraid of being politically incorrect or offending somebody.  It might hurt sales.   Offend them.  Christmas is ours.  It is the reason we have a time of giving.  It is the reason for the whole shebang.

I try to spend my dollars at stores that honor Christmas.

Happy Holliday?  No thank you.

Read the Christmas story when you give your family their presents this year.  Three or four minutes to explain the reason for Christmas.  They sure won't get it in the media.  Matthew 1:18-2:23
