Without a free flow of money, analysts warn that Christmas sales could decline as consumers cut back on gifts and stores struggle to stock shelves. It’s amazing that this present Retail horror might actually be what is needed to put Christmas in perspective. How horrible would it really be for family, relationships, love, care, concern, blessings, thanksgiving, time, touch and story to be the FOCUS of the season instead of money, credit, stuff, buying, selling, presents, consumerism, marketing, crowds, anger, violence (Black Friday insanity) and hurried busyness. WOW! Maybe this whole world-on-its-ear market experience will offer us the true gift for this season. Maybe we will return to Christmas as a season Jesus, friends, neighbors and family. That’s something to be excited about!
