The Meaning of Christmas

Just like their father did when he was a kid, the kids tear open Christmas presents seemingly brainwashed by marketers and oblivious to the real meaning of it all. They were up at . . . wait for it . . . . 3am!

referring to Scrooge, Scot McKnight on his blog quotes the very last few pages of Dickens Christmas Carol.

'became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man as the good old City knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him…. His own heart laughed, and that was quite enough for him.'”

The real meaning of Christmas? . . . thats what I'm talking about.

Merry 2005 Christmas.
