Ebenezer Scrooge and Emmanuel - Quadrant Online
When I think about Scrooge beings magically transformed, just as the scriptures depict a world transformed by the coming of the God-man Jesus, I am less puritanical at this time of year. Yes, Christmas crackers' groan-worthy 'jokes' and the season's uncouth commerce bring out the worst in me, but I am thankful for family, for friends and especially for the annual reminder of the babe in the feeding trough and what we are really celebrating
