tem from ITN News -- "The luxury Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi displays a tree decorated with $11 million of jewelery." See the video.
Somebody doesn't get it. Just doesn't get what Christmas is supposed to be about.
Okay, so sometime in ancient times, after Christians took over the Roman Empire, the big festival and celebration for the sun god held on December 25th, was taken over by the Christians, and so the day was all so pagan. But for a while now, the 25th of December has been Christ's day.
I'm talking Jesus Christ.
And Jesus wasn't about putting million of dollars worth of jewel on a tree. The old pagan gods could have appreciated the gesture.
Christmas is about Jesus Who is about helping the poor and the needy. That eleven million on that tree could help a whole lot of people in the Third World.
