This is CHRISTmas

November 28, 1990.  As the years go by it seems that Christmas has become more about getting "stuff" than about the birth of Jesus.  People stampede and trample each other to get the best deals on electronics and then blame the stores if someone gets hurt.  Let us remember the Greatest Gift ever received - let us put CHRIST back into CHRISTmas.  I am going to try and post a CHRISTmas coloring contest every Sunday.
