Scrooged: Getting the Scrooge out of Christmas $30
Christmas
can have a way of bringing out selfishness and materialism in children.
Suddenly with the onslaught of commercials peddling all kinds of toys
that kids must have, kids develop a longing for products that often
times they did not even know existed before the commercial aired. Long
lists are created for Santa or mom and dad. Dreams start revolving
around the Christmas tree and what gifts might be cluttered below.
Commercialism has truly turned Christmas into a barrage to our senses
that leaves us exhausted and disappointed.This
Christmas give the kids a Biblical perspective on what this
commercialism has done to the real Christmas Spirit. Kids will consider
the way they have celebrated Christmas in the past, what their present
Christmas looks like and what their future Christmas could be. Just as
Ebenezer Scrooge was visited by the three
ghosts in the classic "A Christmas Carol," kids will be visited each of
the three weeks of the series with a challenge to examine and change
their lives.
