the birth of santa
The front window of the Mambo shop in Brighton contains the poster, 'Happy Birthday Santa,' and it doesn't require a sociologist, or even a vicar, to tell us that our 21st century commercialised Christmas is pretty confused.
But the question I want to pose is does Jesus mind being marginalised? And I can't really answer that, cos you'll have to ask him yourself.
But one thought I did have was that he's pretty used to it. In fact Jesus chose to live a marginalised life. Born amongst farmyard poo, he then hung out with the working class and spent time with outcasts including prostitutes and the diseased. And then he died a murderers death. And from this marginalised position he started the biggest revolution of all time.
Not bad eh? Now what does he think about our attitude to Christmas??? |
