Have you heard the story about the two middle-age women who were out on a Christmas
shopping spree. They had purchased many gifts and they had dozens of packages stuffed into the trunk of the car. As they were driving home they passed by a local church where the caretaker was assembling the illuminated creche on the front lawn and putting up the other decorations. The church sign invited the community to the annual Christmas Eve
Service. One of the women said to the other, "Why does the church try to take over everything! Look at that church, trying to horn in on Christmas.”
