let's give to the ones in need this chrISTMAS!

Millions of people go into credit card debt every year just to "afford" Christmas- often paying it off until next Christmas! 

In many homes, stores, and even churches, Jesus gets pushed to the side, while Santa, sales and parties are center stage.

We've traded meaningful time with loved ones for chasing deals on gadgets, toys, and technology we'll barely use. 

The most visited place during December isn't church- it's Amazon, Target or Walmart. 

Despite all the lights and music, Christmas is one of the most depressing times of the year for many.

Spending on Christmas exceeds $1 Trillion globally, yet giving to the poor often decreases in December. The irony is LOUD!

We sing "Silent Night" while racing through the malls, battling, for parking spots, and living in the holiday burnout and tension!

Most kids can list 20 things they want,but can't explain why Christmas even matters!

Instead of humble awe, we teach our kids that Christmas is about being good enough to earn gifts- funny enough the opposite of grace...
