We have all seen Christmas lights on houses at this time of year. The other day, while I was travelling with some children aboard, they begged me to slow down so that they could watch the lights as we passed by the houses in their neighbourhood.
What lengths some people have gone to over the years though to make their displays sing (in more ways than one). Take for example, a house in Pleasant Grove, Utah, where the owners set their display to music. The result was that so many people stopped to watch the show that the owners had to start charging them money so that they could pay the police to direct traffic.
Was this what Christ had in mind, that simple night in Bethlehem ... or is this what Christmas has become?
