Truth About Christmas
The traditions surrounding Christmas stir warm feelings in the hearts of many—young and old alike—all over the Earth. Families come together. Children await the morning they will receive their presents. Loved ones give gifts, gather for Christmas dinners, and recall previous Christmases spent together.
There is no other time quite like it.
However, this most popular holiday in the world is facing something of a battle these days. On one side, the Christmas season has come to be associated with some very unmerry things. The tradition of gift-giving has been transformed into a spree of materialism. Scenes of mobbing, frenzied shoppers fighting over discounted merchandise have become commonplace. The focus on consumerism creates other problems, such as families going into debt or failing to pay their bills in order to fund these spending sprees. Depression—which is often related to financial problems—and even suicide tend to increase during this season. On top of that, secularists are clamoring for an end to public religious displays.
On the other side of this controversy are the apparently dwindling number of people who are trying to preserve what they consider to be the sacredness of Christmas.
Where do you stand on Christmas?
The truth of the matter is that both sides are taking some important truths for granted, and making some big assumptions.

Perhaps you are like many others who have come to recognize many of the problems associated with this season.
