Cancel Christmas???

Cancel christmas? Such a horrible idea, isn't it? Or is it? Let me share something I observed a while back...

I was walking across the parking lot into Costco. Also walking toward the store were a mother and her son. The mother was telling the little boy what they were going to get and what they were not going to get; the little boy was whining about not getting something or other.

"Do you want me to cancel Christmas!?" the mother snapped.

"No"

"Then you better behave yourself."


So I ask you again, cancel Christmas? If christmas was truly the celebration of Jesus' birth, and as such was a holy day of worship toward God, then it could never under any circumstances be cancelled. But yet, the mother's threat still could be made...
