This is done on the first day of the week since his death 2000 years ago. In this way we all have Christmas every week. We need to be careful to remind people to try and keep the celebration in it s proper biblical perspective. In my opinion, if they choose to celebrate it, they should recognize that this is not a required observance and for the most part has little to do with the Bible. Our world makes this a big marketing season and much of the abuse of the ancient Biblical account is fired by the desire to cash in on the season.
Some retailers make more that half of their income during the holiday season.
As Christians we need to try and keep our perspective. One area that gets me going is that every little group or club now has a benevolent heart at Christmas time. It is a sick joke and we need not fall for it. If a child has no toys they probably will survive, but they will survive better with warm clothes and a full tummy and a father, or mother with them during Christmas. The toys are great, but the rest of it needs to be in place first.
