Christmas isn’t about the birth of Christ anymore. It’s all about Santa Claus, his reindeer and large sled that holds all the presents for the children who have been good, as well as all the decorations inside and outside of people’s homes.

Several homes I have been in have decorations in every room, even in the bathrooms. Christ didn’t even have a home; he was born in a barn. The presents he received, he couldn’t even play with or use in any way.

People have gone overboard to degrade the birth of Christ.
