By not celebrating Christmas would send this economy into a tail spin.
Everybody would be affected- from Taxi cab drivers to baby sitters, airlines,
hotels, gas stations, etc. I cannot think of any industry that would not be
affected. Even China would suffer. Just think if all the Christians just
decided to not buy gifts, cards, or candy at Christmas. I bet a lot of Jewish
retailers would convert to Christianity. Everybody would be once again
proclaiming Merry Christmas again. Large banners who hang from all the roof
tops of retailers to lure the Christians back to buying gifts, cards, and candy.
Hey, it happened last year. Did anyone notice that since the economy was slow
many retailers brought back the slogan Merry Christmas in attempts to lure the
Christian shopper into buying from them? They used Christ as a marketing tool.
Take a moment and ask yourself this and ask others, "What job, industry,
occupation would not be affected if we stopped celebrating Christmas?"
Today, the sad thing is many use Christ as a marketing tool. Let's make money
off of Jesus.
What is even worse the kids are now becoming to know more about Santa Claus than
Jesus Christ. All that come to most of their minds is toys and lots of them.
And being as loving parents we all seem to be we are out there before daybreak
fighting, shoving, and pushing our way into stores or jamming up the internet on
Black Friday and then comes Easter.
What Would Jesus Do is a prime example of using Jesus to make money. The
intention was good, but the profits were better. Many T-shirts, caps, and
trinkets were sold bearing the initials WWJD. Many a TV evangelist or so called
Miracle Workers would go to the waste side if many Christians failed to donate-
Remember, you cannot buy anything from God. If there were more profits to be
made profits in speaking about Satan new shows of Devil worshippers would soon
compete with our religious shows and telecasts of today.
Oh wow, What a friend and profit we have in Jesus.
