[Rev. Doc]

Your Real Outlook

"The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told."
Luke 2:20

Dave Barry in his "Notes on Western Civilization" shares:

To avoid offending anybody, the school dropped religion altogether and started singing about the weather. At my son's school, they now hold the winter program in February and sing increasingly non-memorable songs such as "Winter Wonderland," "Frosty the Snowman" and--this is a real song--"Suzy Snowflake," all of which is pretty funny because we live in Miami. A visitor from another planet would assume that the children belonged to the Church of Meteorology.

Prayer: Ask God to help you focus your worship on the true meaning of Christmas.

"To perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year."
~E. B. White
