A friend of mine who is planting a church in Berkeley wrote about many people who do Christmas though they profess themselves atheists and secularists. In that regard, he prayed that for those inside and outside the church, the following would happen while such people were still living, rather than in their death. It fit well with Pastor Mike's sermon this past Sunday about traditions at Christmas. And here is the quote:
"The great majority of people will go on observing forms that cannot be explained; they will keep Christmas Day with Christmas gifts and Christmas benedictions; they will continue to do it; and some day suddenly wake up and discover why." – G.K. Chesterton, "On Christmas."
