Time to Get Rid of Christmas?

How Christmas is perceived says much about the worldview of the perceiver. There is little question but what the contemporary manifestation is corrupt and bereft of anything save corporate profit. Yes, this applies to institutionalized religion as well, the present example being the Church. The utter absence of the theological in our current circumstance finds expression in Black Friday preceding Christmas and Good Friday marking the day of crucifixion. I personally find merit in restoring meaning to the season, but I also sorely disagree with the interpretation of those who zealously put forth their reason as absolute. Those who sincerely seek the Christ should know that it will not likely be found beneath a tree on December 25, but will instead be discovered in the eyes of those who marvel at the miracle of love revealed.
