What about Christmas?

Tweet

The world I grew up in has changed and it is so noticable as we enter the Christmas period and it's traditions. One of the exciting traditions used to be wandering around the shops and looking at the window displays that were on view. The large department stores and even the small shop windows would have some scene displaying their goods in a Christmas setting. A manger scene or at least just a manger was usual. Christmas stars were prominent, Carols were played in the shop and everyone knew that Christmas was about Jesus being born in Bethlehem. The shops still decorate but not with the Christian scene, not even a star appears. As most parents are not church goers and their children do not have the modern version of a Sunday School I wonder if they have any idea of why we celebrate Christmas.
