Is your Christmas focused on the North Pole or the Middle East? Your answer matters.

When the main character in Christmas is from the North Pole instead of the Middle East, the supporting characters are elves instead of wise men, and the main props are reindeer and a sleigh instead of a manger and a star, there has been a major plot change. One main Christmas character has shoved aside the other and stolen Christmas, and his name isn’t the Grinch.

Which Christmas do you prefer — a sincere, heart-felt celebration and rejoicing in Christ’s birth, life, death for our sins, resurrection from the dead, and active presence in the world today? Or a capitalistic commercialization and consumerization of the holiday?
