Welcome to Grant's Heavenly Top Ten. Ok, I've waited long enough. Christmas is in the air, at least where I'm living in Canada! So with best wishes, let me share with you the Christmas 1997 Edition of the Heaven Top Ten (Part One) which is:
Top Ten Indications
That Christmas May Be
A Little Too Commercial
- The only time you've heard Jesus mentioned this year was when your neighbor opened his Visa bill!
- You mentioned the "Star in the East" to someone and they thought you were talking about Jackie Chan!
- Your son thought St. Nick, Kris Kringle, and Father Christmas were the Three Wise Men.
- You got more Christmas Cards from companies then friends!
- When you hear the name Bethlehem, you think . . .Ah, steel manufacturing!
- You asked your neighbor to come to church Christmas Eve, and they said, "What's Christmas got to do with church?"
- The last time you said "Merry Christmas" to someone, they called the "Politically Correct Police"!
- When you got to the part in the Christmas account about there being "no room in the inn", your first thought was, "Maybe I should invest in the hospitality industry!"
- When you told your Sunday School class about the Magi's gifts, a couple of the kids wondered about their current market value!
- And the number one reason why Christmas might be a little too commercial:
- Simple, you spent more time, running and buying then you did bending to worship!
