Nice article! I agree that we shouldn’t let the world influence us to make Christmas a once-a-year event. I don’t like the idea of hoarding away gifts to give at Christmas — tomorrow is not promised to any one of us. I’ve had experiences in which if I had waited, I would have missed the opportunity to give. Could this be why Jesus didn’t tell us “when” His birthday was? Christmas is a man-made tradition. “Love thy neighbour” means EVERY DAY.

I’ve gotten so frustrated with the whole gift card thing. People don’t want to put any thought into a gift, and the recipient many times doesn’t like what they were given. What the heck? My 17 year old daughter seems to be finally growing out of the gift card thing. She’s beginning to understand gift giving from the heart.

We put together a gift basket guide. All kinds of novel ideas that you can put together based on what people like to do - like gardeners, readers, golfer, and so on. You can pick up a copy free at my blog. I think we came up with some pretty good ideas.

There’s also a free downloadable pdf of Christmas Songs. I first did that for my daughter’s girl scout troop, so feel free to grab that too.

I love this blog. I think I’ll be here a while….

Thank you for this inspiration. I’m looking for a way to make Christmas more than a shopping frenzy, and you’ve been a great help. find this passage in your meditation a real jewel:
“When Christ entered our world, he didn’t come to brighten our Decembers, but to transform our lives. It can be hard work to practice good will towards one another. But John the Baptist’s message was that as we prepare for Christ to come into our lives, we can change our ways.”
Merry Christmas!

Wow Rich!!! I have no words.. I am speechless…. What a wonderful, inspiring passage to read as I wake up this Sunday morning in a miserable and depressed South Africa. I love Christmas, I love writing Christmas activity books for kids. I don’t love Christmas time here, people stay away from the shops and malls because of the high crime rate - and generally if they buy presents and have great feasts for their families they won’t eat well for the next few months… thank you for writing this… I have a new feeling inside of me today!

Blessings xx
PS Magnificent blog you have here!
