The Coming

To consider during Advent:

When we stop to think about the simple way Christ lived his life and his concern for "the least of these", celebrating his birth with a multi-billion dollar exchange of video games, designer jeans, and sports equipment, seems strangely inappropriate.

~Jean Coppock Staeheli

So how do we celebrate Jesus birth?
Do we know how to celebrate His birth in a way that is keeping with His life & message?
How foreign is this "less is more" concept to our gift giving, North American ears?
