The True Meaning of Christmas . . .

Boy, I'm sure glad someone's here to set the record straight. From this morning's Washington Post:

"The $1.3 million Christmas pageant at the First Baptist Churc of Fort Lauderdale is featuring professional pyrotechnics, 105 automated lights, 250 conventional lights, a cast of 600 women dressed as angels who "fly" to herald Jesus' birth, simulated snow and a kick line of dancers. It's about 'the true meaning of Christmas,' says Senior Pastor Larry Thompson."

I always thought it was about humble surroundings and a small baby in a manger who came to save the world -- apparently it's about pyrotechnics and high kicking dancers. Hmmm. . . something to think about!

Yeah, nothing says Christmas like pyrotechnics. That's funny. I was reading up; I love that you love your hubby so much. And that he pops out of bed asking what he can do for you. WOW.

They probably could have put on a nice show/event for $100,000 leaving 1.2 million for charitable causes. Another example of Christmas run amok.
