Unwrapping Christmas
What’s inside the package?
There is more to Christmas than giving gifts and wrapping paper.
If we unwrap Christmas, we find a deeper meaning to life.
So, let’s unwrap Christmas.
We unwrap gifts because Americans love to package the content.
We spend 2.6 million dollars every year on wrapping paper.
- 50% of all paper used in the US is for gift packaging
- 71% of us wrap our own gifts
- 53% will re-use wrapping paper
- 19% of us use gift bags
- 31% have professionals wrap their gifts
Can you see that we are equally consumed with the package as we are the content? Typical for Americans — we care more about how we look than how we are doing. Everything that shines is not gold.
We are in a desperate place when our package is in better shape than our contents
That is why we must unwrap Christmas. When we unwrap Christmas, we find Jesus. Jesus is the reason for the Christmas season and the greatest gift of all gifts.
Jesus, as a King, was hidden in where He was born.
