Christmas Is Coming: Let's Pray

Christmas, which is just four weeks from next Monday, is rushing at us with uncanny speed once again this year.  With Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday already behind us, the advertising for every manor of products fills media sites of all sizes and shapes. In my lifetime there has always been some level of commercialism associated with the most world altering holiday of all time.  It seems, however, to be out of control at this point.  We should each carve out some time for a quiet prayer for peace and universal love.
