Being that it is Christmas I thought I would post something more than just the simple Merry Christmas or another reiteration of the Christmas story. Don’t get me wrong, these things are good and appropriate, but by now we have all read them dozens of times today.
This last week Mark Driscoll wrote a blog post for the Washington Post that he also posted to his own blog on the topic of Santa Claus. Most Christians tend to demonize Santa as some fictitious person that draws ones attention away from Christ. Driscoll does well to point the believer to the fact that Santa is indeed a real person and instead of rejecting or receiving him, Christians should redeem him.
You can get the whole story on the Mars Hill Church blog, “What We Tell Our Kids About Santa”.
Merry Christmas to you and to your family!
