Who
                                                           started
                                                         Christmas?
                                                      This morning I
                                                 heard a story on the
                                            radio of a woman who was
                                        out Christmas shopping with her
                                       two children; after many hours of
                                    looking at row after row of toys and
                                   everything else imaginable, and after
                                 hours of hearing both her children asking
                           for everything they saw on those many shelves,
                         she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.
                         She was feeling what so many of us feel during the
                                       holiday season time of the year
                             ---overwhelming pressure to go to every party,
                      every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats,
               get that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list,
                           make sure we don't forget anyone on our card list,
                                                   and the pressure
                                                  of making sure we
                                                respond to everyone
                                                who sent us a card.

                                                 Finally the elevator
                                         doors opened  and there was
                                           already a crowd in the car.
                                               She pushed her way into
                                               the  car  and  dragged
                                                    her two kids in with
                                                      her and all the
                                                        bags     of
                                                             stuff.
                                                               *
          When the doors closed she couldn't take it anymore and stated,
                           "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing
                               should be found, strung up and shot."

      From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet, calm voice respond,
                                 "Don't worry. We already crucified him."

                              For the rest of the trip down the elevator
                          it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
                                          Don't forget this year  to keep
                             the One who started this whole Christmas thing
                           in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word.
          If we all did it, just think of how different this whole world would be.

                                   Remember The Reason For The Season
