In a spiritual world of quick fixes and vague emotion, is it crazy to believe there is still a place for insights based on simple, basic, theological understanding. I believe it is worth exploring.

A Touch of Humor - The Spirit of Christmas Presents
How can keeping the commercial aspect of Christmas become a distraction? Is there a way to keep a better balance in this regard?
I had very intentionally used to the word balance because I feel that is what is needed. I agree Scrooge is not the answer, but I think sometimes going overboard in trying to keep the commercial aspects of Christmas can produce Scrooges. We are always prone to overreact to things we overdo.
I have known humbug Scrooges and over indulgent parents as well. Maybe the answer lies somewhere in the middle?
