Yet this year, my first Christmas really as a Christian, I find the whole Santa/materialism emphasis a troubling counterfeit. The God of the Universe came to us in the humblest of ways, born in the lowest circumstances, to the poorest of families, because He loved us enough to give His life in exchange for ours so we could be with Him forever and have peace and freedom. Yet instead of focusing on His awesome gift to us, as a culture we've allowed ourselves to become distracted with a hectic whirl of events, spending, decorating, worrying about buying the "perfect" material gifts, (for each other, not Him), and teaching our children to believe in magic.
