You will get a kick out of this... We went to mass at Sts. Joe and Paul last night. The rectory is right beside the church. It is all decorated in lights and they have their Christmas tree up. When we went into church there were no Christmas lights or Christmas trees just the advent wreath and ohter purple stuff (banners, etc.) to show that it is advent. Tres looked around and asked, "Mommy, why is Fr. Carl's house decorated and Jesus' house isn't. We need to put some Christmas lights up in Jesus' house..." Kinda makes you think...all these Christians always complaining about keeping "Christ" in Christmas, but what does a strand of tiny lghts have to do with the birth of the Messiah...hmmmm. I think you gave me your ba-hum-bug ;)
