WE DON'T DESERVE THE GIFT OF CHRISTMAS

We may be listening to carefully and living the messages of Christmas, one in particular!

You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not pout, I'm telling you why. He's making a list, Checking it twice; Gonna find out who's naughty or nice. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake.

 From very young, we’ve been taught to believe that we receive Christmas gifts based on merit, i.e. the Naught and Nice list. If you’re good enough, you deserve presents. If you’re too bad, you deserve and get coal.

Conclusion – gifts are not gifts at all, but the consequence of a year spent in good or bad behavior.

How good do I have to be to land on the nice list and how naughty do I have to be to land on the naughty list? I mean, “How do you measure the good and the bad to decide?”

So, how GOOD IS GOOD ENOUGH? AND HOW BAD IS BAD ENOUGH?
