Musings by Rev. Jim Flagg - "It's the most wonderful time of the year"
I have been listening to Christmas music for several weeks … OK, since before Thanksgiving. I like an eclectic mix from classical sacred to classic secular. As I have been listening, I have noticed a kind of roller coaster shift in focus concerning the meaning and celebration of Christmas across the centuries. Christmas has vacillated in meaning from religious sacred, as Christ Jesus is born, to secular “me” centered.
