Did anyone tell WL about the pagan origins of CNY??? Course not.
Yet he was allowed to use CNY to worship God and preach the gospel, but we Americans could not do the same with Christmas?
Does that not define hypocrisy?
Good for you to use the holiday to tell your kids about the Savior!!!
Read the stories from the Bible.
The next town over has a pilgrimage they put on to re-enact the stories. We went one year. It was great. No one could talk, only pray silently, and relive the events.
In the gloomy midwest, I actually love all the outdoor house decorations. So beautiful.

I have celebrated Christmas off and on for umpteen years. of course I have also been free from the LC clutches for umpteen years!!!
Was WL a hypocrite for celebrating the CNY... hmm... one thing he was for sure is that HE WAS A CONTROL FREAK!
I too love the night light Christmas decors. For years and years I thought Christmas was the perfect time to take the opportunity to share Jesus with people. I always remember Paul's message at Mars hill to the Greeks: Let me tell you about this 'unknown God'. Oh that God would anoint our hearts and minds and give us the words to bring Jesus to people as the day draws near.
