It seems more like Christmas this year than usual. Due to the economic slowdown, there isn’t so much of a commercial festival taking place at the same time as Christmas this year.
But still the commercial element can have a detrimental effect.
It is easy to throw the baby out with the bath water. The water can be filled with tinsel , cards, wrapping paper, presents, food, drink, social events and spending money to the point where the baby gets lost amongst all the stuff.
We can lose the baby and then not want to look for him again. The scribes and priests knew where the baby was likely to be but none of them went to see him. Some pagans from a far awy country went to see him first.
Then some shepherds went to see him because an Angel told them. The angel told them because it was a shepherds business to know when a lamb is to be born.
Jesus is the lamb that takes away the sins off the world.
