I wish it could be Christmas everyday

From the Reformation 21 video...................

'What does Christmas mean to you?' said Derek Thomas
 
'The older I get the more difficult it is to get comfortable with Christmas' replied a youthful Jeremy Smith
 
A couple of comments
 
Firstly, I've watched 2 or 3 of these videos filmed for Ref 21 and someone wants to have a word with the wardrobe department. Why does everyone in Jackson Tenessee dress like my father?
 
Secondly, in the words of the great 70s philosophers Wizard 'I wish it could be Christmas every day'. It's a phenomenal time, let me give you one reason why Christmas is the best time of the year - people come to church. The congregation invite their friends,work colleagues and family and they come. We sing incredible carols full of the most inspiring theology. Preachers get to speak to people who wouldn't darken the doors of churches 51 weeks of the year. There is an echo in our culture which tells them that Christmas is more significant than just partying, how long that will last I don't know but while it does let's exploit it for all it's worth. Christmas means opportunities galore.
