so I've been thinking ...
I think Thanksgiving and Christmas should switch. not the dates, not the meanings, but the American tradition.
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and be thankful. so let's see ... I thank God for a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food in the fridge, and most importantly my family and friends. to show thanks, a gift seems appropriate to say "I'm thankful you are here and in my life."
Christmas is (or should I say ought to be) centered around Christ. It's his birthday ... so let's have a birthday party! a BIG dinner and a cake with some candles. of course gifts are normal for a party, but he hasn't returned yet ... when he does, we can shower him with gifts.
makes sense, right?
and yes Morgan, food and gifts would be fun for BOTH!!

So, are you pulling the switch this year? :)
I want to, but didn't have enough time to convert everyone yet. Sam and I will be baking a birthday cake for Jesus this year though. hhmmmmm, what kind do you think he'd like? :)
