'..even now in your holy festivals, aren't you eating and drinking just to please yourselves?' Zechariah 7:6
I love Christmas: the food, the music, the lights- everything. But we have sentimentalized it rather a lot. Just what is romantic about a homeless woman going into labour in a stinking cowshed? I wouldn`t wish it on my worst enemy. But that is the true magic of the Incarnation: despite the shit, God is here, among us.
