If you’ve listened to our recent podcasts, you know about my frustration with the synthesis of the Christian Christmas and the secular Christmas.  Here’s a good example of a secular writer viewing Christmas as wonderfully sacred, and yet entirely secular.  Hopefully we’ll continue to think, as Christians, about the best way to challenge these views.

  2. I tend to agree with you (looking at my wording in the post, not sure if I said that right, but I do).

    I think I just want to challenge Christians to realize that trying to celebrate the “sacredness” of Christmas through use of wintery scenes, ribbons, and Christmas trees is not going to have much impact. The Christmas of Christ and the Christmas of presents and nostalgia are two entirely separate things.
