Hey guys,

Whats your ideal Christmas present? The question was asked of a group of adults so toys were not really part of the list.  Answers were all over the board though:  Time, Diamonds, Sex, were the top of the list and of course A Red Ryder BB gun with plenty of other responses. 

How would you answer the question?  As I scanned the list, there was one obvious answer missing...Life!  Maybe thats because that gift has already been presented to mankind on the first Christmas. Maybe the answer is missing because theres too much consumer clutter hiding our eyes to the obvious.  Maybe those answering truly dont know the truth of one of Gods names: Immanuel- meaning God with us.  I know its kinda a Sunday School response but I am hoping that during this very traditional season we remember the reason. 

I asked a group of kids individually at the daycare what Christmas was, 3 said presents, 1 said fun and one said Jesus birthday.  I love it.  Then we could go to another extreme, I remember a lady telling me that Santa was Satan if we just moved the N to the middle.  Hmmm.  OK so once again we need some balance, but I think most of us could add a little more Christ to Christmas.
