It's amazing how many churches there are who speak out against seeker-sensitive entertainment in church for 51 weeks a year, and then end up doing essentially the same thing around Christmas time with their contadas and musicals etc. That's not to say we need to be anti-Christmas at church, there are some great incarnation hymns, and pastors can preach incarnation sermons as a part of a normal regulative worship service. My personal preference is to skip right past it as a papist holiday, but I realize not everyone agrees with . . . me and the Puritans:-) Great post Nathan!
