The Lie of Christmas

Paul Masek's picture

I am a huge fan of Christmas!  And, for that reason, I want to share my all-time favorite Christmas reflection with you. 

This article always inspires me and is something that I periodically need to be reminded of at all times of the year - but especially at this time of the year.

The Lie of Christmas is something that I, sadly, sometimes start to believe.  The idea is something that I share with my own children every year at this time.  Because in order to know the truth, sometimes we need to be reminded of the lie.

I really encourage you to take a few minutes out of your busy life to read this article.

Merry Christmas, 

Paul Masek
