sign of the times

Spotted on the reader board at my local national drug store chain

"Christmas is coming. Shop Now."

No thanks. This is my 4th year of actively seeking simplicity at Christmas. I don't buy commercial gifts. I make some. I give donations to charity for others. Others I just wish a very happy Christmas. Works for me.

Christmas is coming. Are you ready to welcome Christ into your life? Somehow, I'm not sure how shopping really enters that equation.
