<itunes:subtitle><![CDATA[It is easy to think of Christmas as something like a trip to Disneyland – a season when we temporarily enter the fairy tale land of Jesus, and then return home to our “ordinary” lives.  But in the ancient Christmas song by Zechariah the priest, we are unnervingly confronted with the contention that Jesus, his birth and claims, are as real and surprising as a carefully placed spring of mistletoe.  And the result is an invitation to pucker up and belt out your own song in the New Year: hilarious with pleasure, sniggering with gratitude and blessed with a giggling joy.]]></itunes:subtitle>

<itunes:subtitle><![CDATA[When Jesus loved, He loved in ways never imagined. Though rich, he became poor to love the poor, the forgotten, the overlooked and the sick. He played to the margins. By spending less at Christmas we have the opportunity to join Him in giving resources to those who need help the most. When Advent Conspiracy first began four churches challenged this simple concept to its congregations. The result raised more than a half million dollars to aid those in need. One less gift. One unbelievable present in the name of Christ.]]></itunes:subtitle>

<itunes:subtitle><![CDATA[Before you think we’re getting all Scrooge on you, let us explain what we mean. We like gifts. Our kids really like gifts. But consider this: America spends an average of $450 billion a year every Christmas. How often have you spent money on Christmas presents for no other reason than obligation? How many times have you received a gift out of that same obligation? Thanks, but no thanks, right? We’re asking people to consider buying ONE LESS GIFT this Christmas. Just one.  Sounds insignificant, yet many who have taken this small sacrifice have experienced something nothing less than a miracle: They have been more available to celebrate Christ during the advent season.]]></itunes:subtitle>

<itunes:subtitle><![CDATA[God’s gift to us was a relationship built on love. So it’s no wonder why we’re drawn to the idea that Christmas should be a time to love our friends and family in the most memorable ways possible. Time is the real gift Christmas offers us, and no matter how hard we look, it can’t be found at the mall. Time to make a gift that turns into the next family heirloom. Time to write mom a letter. Time to take the kids sledding. Time to bake really good cookies and sing really bad Christmas carols. Time to make love visible through relational giving. Sounds a lot better than getting a sweater two sizes too big, right?]]></itunes:subtitle>
