    Christians are polarized by Christmas. We battle against the commercialism and secularization of one of the two most holy days for Christians.

    So, Christmas is Over, huh? I have a poem I’d like to share with you. It’s called "The Month After Christmas." ‘Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house, nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. The cookies I’d nibbled, the fudge I did taste, all the holiday parties ...read more
