=======================
A woman was out Christmas shopping with her two children.
After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything
else imaginable; and after hours of hearing both her children ask
for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made
it to the elevator with her two kids.
She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday
season time of the year: overwhelming pressure to go to every
party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats,
getting that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping
list, making sure we don't forget anyone on our card list,
and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us
a card.
Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd
in the car. She pushed her way into the car and dragged her two
kids in with her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed
she couldn't take it anymore and stated,
"Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found,
strung up and shot."
From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet calm voice
respond, "Don't worry, we already crucified him."
For the rest of the trip down the elevator; it was so quiet you
could have heard a pin drop.
Don't forget this year to keep the One who started this whole
Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word.
If we all did it, just think of how different this whole world
would be.
