Christmas Inflation

There was an interesting point that came over the radio the other day. It was to do with the Twelve Days of Christmas ( the partridge, swans, gold rings, pear tree carol)
If the " true love" was to give the gifts mentioned in the carol in 2014, it would cost him about $ 60,000!
The inexorable march of inflation has taken our society from its humble and simple beginnings of carol singers at the door and 'chestnuts roasting by an open fire' to an avaricious rush that lasts from Black Friday to Boxing Day.
Lost in the "Toy Mountains" and the never ending "Santa Parades" is the reason at the very heart of Christmas, namely God's gift to the world in the form of baby boy called Jesus.
The 'HO HO HO'  of jolly Santa can never replace the "SO SO SO" of the Father's gift of love to us that first Christmas Day in Bethlehem.
"For God SO loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life"
Take time to ponder that thought as you enjoy Christmas with your family this year.

Jubilate.
