Peace on Earth or Ba Humbug

The Christmas season seems to bring out two things in people.  A real joy and peace.  Or a real negative attitude towards all the Christmas has become.  I think in some ways we can easily experience both of these things during this December.  Greed and selfish behavior can still our joy.  To see people who only are concerned about what gifts they will receive and will they be the right gifts to make them happy - can wear on us.  To see people miss the joy and peace of Christ because of the crazy schedule of activities - is a shame.  But to look beyond the greed, selfishness and business - to see the amazing love of God to send his Son - Jesus to the world as a child, now that is amazing.  Fight the ba humbugs by giving, serving and worshiping the Christ of Christmas.
