Who’s to blame?
- I want to know. Who took Christmas away from you? Or we could ask, Who took Christ out of your Christmas?
- Was it the Grinch? Your mean Aunt Harriet? Or maybe it was some liberal politician?
- Andrea Williams with the group Christian Concern believes that Starbucks is one of the culprits.
- And I quote Andrea Williams of the group Christian Concern: “This is a denial of historical reality and the great Christian heritage behind the American dream that has so benefitted Starbucks. This also denies the hope of Jesus Christ and his story told so powerfully at this time of year.
- Really. Why does she say these things? Because Starbucks has no decorations on their Christmas cup as in years past. Just a plain, red cup with the Starbucks logo. No elves, or Christmas trees or snowflakes. One person suggested that Starbucks should put out a white cup and give away crayons so all the people whining about the cups could draw their own decorations.
- Do you know what—among many things—that is really sad about this discussion? Ellen DeGeneres has a better perspective than the spokeswoman for the Christian group.
- Ellen DeGeneres: “The old cups had snowflakes and Santa’s sleigh and elves. You know, all the things you find in the Bible.”
- So let me ask this. If some person or group or political party can take Christ out of your Christmas, then what Christ are you worshiping?
