CHRISTMAS IS RUINED, PART V
"Part of me is sorry if you read this & find suddenly that the gingerbread man you're chewing tastes a little less jolly or that the inflatable Santa in your front yard looks a little less fun, but part of me isn't. You can celebrate cultural Christmas with family & friends--enjoy the time you share with them!--yet even so, I hope & pray that the glorious theology of the Incarnation ruins Christmas for you as it has for me. And I can't feel sorry about that. Far from it: I pray that every day of our lives in Christ would be so ruined."
--Merritt Demski, "When Jesus Ruins Christmas," The Lutheran Witness Dec. 2018)
