The attached video really caught my attention as it pulls us back from commercialism and closer to the true meaning of Christmas. It also reveals an astonishing fact about Christmas shopping that I suspected but did not have the details.
Will you be part of the conspiracy on behalf of those in need?

You know I honestly think most of the people who shop like that are secular people . they probably don't consider themselves christians the rest of the yr or attend a church . which even a stranger social behaviour to look into . it dosen't make sense to me but we don't shop like that . we do love to give though ☺
ReplyDeleteThere is no greater gift one can give themselves than cheerfully helping someone in need without any expectation of receiving anything back. Whether Christian or secular, I hope that this Christmas people will bring back the true meaning of Christmas. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Rox. Even Christians who attend church every Sunday give in to the consumerism of Christmas, and there are many secular people who love to help those in need. I, a church-going Christian, am not materialistic for the most part but even I get caught up in the consumer hype because of those around me. The video got me thinking about how I can make a difference. I am going to show my children the real meaning of Christmas and go out and help those in need. Thank you for reminding us that Jesus is the reason for the season.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Consumerism is as much about Christians forgetting the reason for the season as it is about the secular world partaking in Christmas. And, both secular and Christian can do better in remembering others who are in need, at all times of year but especially at Christmas.
