When I Say Christmas, You Think…?
You've probably heard the saying, "there's a reason for the season." That reason varies depending on who you ask.
"Christianity Daily," a small Korean newspaper(?) out of LA, conducted a survey asking, "what's the first thing you think of when you hear the 'Christmas'?"
33% said Christmas songs and carols
22% said Santa and presents
21% said parties and gatherings
And only 17% said Jesus.
It didn't get much better for Jesus when they asked, "what's the meaning of Christmas?"
50% said it's time with family and friends
24% said it's a time to help those in need
18% said it's a worldwide celebration
only 8% said the birth of Jesus.
Church as a whole got only slightly more love with 22% saying they go to church on Christmas day.
