Thinking about Christmas

November 1, 2008 | 202 Views | 3 Comments

I’m notoriously bad about thinking about Christmas celebrations (as opposed to the gift of Jesus) until about the 23rd December. Although this year is quite different. As a family and as a church we’re having a feast on Christmas Day where we’re hoping to invite those who would otherwise be having a less than merry day – Soul Purpose Christmas

Others have also been doing some good thinking about Christmas – read, remember and act
- Slipstream are thinking of a social justice 12 days of Christmas on their facebook group
- Jeremy has some good ideas here and here
- Dave has a great post here on a simple Christmas
For other ideas try Buy Nothing Christmas or Alternativity or Advent Conspiracy or Rethinking Christmas

Thanks for the links, I hadn’t come across Advent Conspiracy before. Looks great.

I’m also getting involved in creating Christmas instead of buying it. I’ve started a link for my wife’s present (and she doesn’t know about it yet).

I like the idea Mother Letter about creating Christmas. Thanks for the link…
