“Christmas Shenanigans”

Jude 18: “In the last time there shall be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” Lastly in this week’s look at what the Daily Office says about un-Christmas-like observances of Christmas, why does this time of year rank number one in the proliferation of festivities and events that are little more than occasions for ungodly lusts? The one-night elevation and even fulfillment of that office flirtation or classroom romance, the one occasion where drunk is cool – why does that have to be in celebration of Christ’s birth? Is this the way to offer Him glory, not to mention majesty, dominion, and authority? Surely a good time can be had without these expressions of ungodliness.
