Revealing QOTD
by digby
None other than the word salad queen talking about the true meaning of Christmas:
LOPEZ: Do you worry about gifts at Christmas? That they miss the point of the holiday? How can we redeem Christmas so it is about the Savior?
PALIN: Nope. I don’t worry about gifts — I love that part of the tradition! When people wring their hands about the presents, I get it, though. It costs money and sometimes people aren’t as thankful as you think they should be when you spend your time and money on them. But presents aren’t the problem. Our hearts — as ungrateful as they sometimes are — need a fresh application of the gospel at Christmas more than ever.
You betcha! From a Christian perspective the main problem with the rampant consumerism and materialism of Christmas these days is that people aren’t grateful enough for how much time and money you spent on them.
You can look it up. In the gospel.
