I never saw anywhere in the Bible, or in any church that you should buy colorful lights and put them outside your home Acctually, the lights do have to do with God. Jesus is the light of the world. And I it's definitely in the bible. Because during the Alleluia, a common interlude in the middle of the sung version starts with "You are the light of the world, all of the earth gives your worship, and your majesty fills the heavens, fills the earth!" That is why we decorate with ligths. And even Santa is supposed to represent St. Nicholas. as a Christian symbol who gives during a season of giving. And that goes for shopping also. The three kings brought gifts to Jesus. Therefore, we give gifts to others. Aside from the commercialization of that aspect, it does have a lot to do with God. -James |
