I find it incredibly surprising that Christians across the country want to put "Christ" back into retail shops during the Christmas Season. As most would notice, retailers have systematically weeded out Christian sentiment during the Christmas shopping binge. In place of "Merry Christmas," retailers have opted to use the generic, and benign term "Happy holidays." We wouldn't want to offend the 3% who don't celebrate Christmas afterall!
Christians lament this lack of Jesus in their sacred Holiday.
But it's interesting that Christians want Jesus back in the stores--when they feverishly search for gifts for all of their closest 150 friends. Maybe it's noble they want their savior in the midst of the materialistic splurge--when obligation makes them blow their holiday bonus on trinkets and knicknacks-all for the sake of their baby Jesus!
Maybe that's just what retailers need--some Christ-sanctioned sale! Instead of Black Friday, we'll call it buy-for-Jesus weekend!
