Last night, New York City officially kicked off the Christmas season with the annual tree lighting at Rockefeller Center. As I watched thousands of people scream, shout and wave, I wondered how many of them knew the Christ of Christmas. It's no suprise that Jesus has been snuffed out of our celebrations and not invited to his own bithday party...well from the begining. A census forced everyone back to their hometowns - old school traffic jam. There was no room in the inn for Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Today we have no room in our celebrations, no room in our lives and no room in our marketing camapigns. My friend Jeremy takes us back to the scene of the crime in an article entitled Barnyard Births in the City - you'll be suprised what he finds.
"The word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood."
