There are some days that I cannot get over the absolute absurdity of Christmas. Not the absurdity of the commercialization of Christmas (that topic has been beaten to death), but the absurdity of Christmas.
A child born of a true virgin. A child whose birth was foretold centuries before it happened. A child whose life the world literally must depend upon. A child whose birth would cause the ruling powers to decree that all children under the age of two were to be killed. A child whose birth would change how humanity would keep track of time (literally).
The day this story no longer captures our imagination is the day that we need to re-think our faith and our approach to this time of year.
See You Sunday!
