One of my favorite Christmas stories is Dicken’s, “A Christmas Carol,” which as most of you know is the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who loves his money more than anything. After being visited by three ghost Scrooge has a change of heart and becomes warm and caring. In our society to be called a Scrooge means to be called someone who doesn’t care about anything. At this time of year it is not hard to become a Scrooge because of all the over commercialism of Christmas. The key to get through the season is to focus on Jesus and though I hate to use a cliched quote, “The Reason for the Season.”
