Dr.Hess Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 That was interesting. What C.S.Lewis described 75 years ago or so, is worse today. What gets me is that all the Christmas movies we see have nothing to do with Christmas. Like Scrooged. Great movie. But, the point is to feel good and be nice to others, etc. Nowhere does it mention Jesus' birth and life here, which is what Christmas is really about.

FC Posted December 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 I know. Replacing the highest cause of Christ's birth with a substitute void of Him. Lewis is my favorite author. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Modern Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus and everything to do with retailers and credit card companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Too true. It’s been the case for a very long time. My wife was surprised I told my adult daughters not to do gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
