Trampling Down Christmas Truth

You probably heard about the tragedy that occurred at a Walmart on Long Island the day after Thanksgiving. This day has come to be known as Black Friday because that is the day retailers go in to the black as they kick-off the official first day of Christmas shopping.

This particular Walmart was set to open at 5 am that morning and by that time 2,000 people had gathered outside and were chanting “push the doors in.” That’s pretty much what happened and sadly, almost unbelievably, one employee was trampled to death by the frenzied crowd.

What happened at that Walmart provides a real picture of what has happened to the truth about Christmas. The truth has been trampled in the mad rush to materialism. People will give lip service to Christ – they’ll sing Christmas songs, but they’re more interested in other stuff than they are the Savior.

Join us as we rejoice in the truth about the Christ of Christmas.
