Our task is not to put Christ back into Christmas; our task is to put the Mass back into Christmass.

Put the Mass back into Christmas
The “Put Christ into Christmas”, “Keep Christ in Christmas” banners, stickers, buttons are wrong.
You cannot keep Christ out of Christmas.
Christ is there in the hustle and bustle. Christ is there amongst the ring of the cash registers, the terrible piped music, the stress, the good-wishes, the sending of cards, family tensions, and exchange of presents. Christ is there on the beach, in the holidays, even in the bleak Northern Hemisphere midwinter.
Our task is not to bring Christ to where he is not. Our task is to recognise where Christ is. To point to where Christ is. To worship Christ. Our task is not to put Christ back into Christmas; our task is to put the Mass back into Christmass.
