Today's secular gift-giving culture is one that emphasizes what you have in your bank account far more than what is in your heart. It is for this reason that Christmas, a holiday that is supposed to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the ultimate unifier, is actually the most divisive holiday of the year. When everyone is focused so much on giving to be seen, rather than giving to be a blessing, those not receiving anything or not able to give very much are left out, rendered unable to fully participate in the joy of the season. It is thus important that we remember the gift of Christ during this Christmas season and all that gift has meant for us. (Matthew 2:1-12)
