Sleigh bells ring! Are you listening? Those sleigh bells are a death knell for the meaning behind Christmas. Have we lost Christ amongst our consumerism? I know what some people might say when they read this, "Bah-humbug! Stop with your scrooge-esque little rant and lighten up!"

So is there a problem? The people over at advent conspiracy seem to think so!

"Advent Conspiracy is an international movement restoring the scandal of Christmas by worshipping Jesus through compassion, not consumption.

Christ tends to get overlooked at Christmas. Let’s be honest. December comes and you think, “OK, this is the year.” This time you’ll swear you’ll slow down and take it all in. Make the most with family. Help the needy. Zero in on what it really means to be a Christ follower during this holy season.

What if you could inspire your church, your family and yourself to avoid being consumed by commercialism this Christmas?"

I'd like to know what you think about the advent conspiracy...
