• My sharing of e-mail junk.   Only this one was just precious, and I've been saving it until it was "officially"  the Christmas season.  So here we go...something to think about.

  
  

  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, getting
  that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list,
  making 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.
