It shows how trapped we are in today's consumerist culture. <BR/><BR/>This is particularly important as we reflect upon how we celebrate Christmas. What gifts can I give (if I believe giving gifts is a way to celebrate Christ's birth) that do not feed into my continued submission to Empire? This is my struggle as of today...Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15890434512045376878noreply@blogger.com
