It has become a commonplace reminder from psychologists that Christmas is a depressing holiday for a lot of people. Because we are caught up in the nostalgic sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas, they remind us of Christmases past, and of people who either are or are not with us. These memories can trigger bitter feelings, if the memories are of bad events; or grief, if the memories are grievous.

This morning, while driving to my office, I heard three voices speak on Christian radio. One quoted 2 Peter 3:8-9, and called all his listeners to bow the knee to Christ and ask Him to become their Savior. The second said that the reason Christians are so bad is because we try so hard to be good, and that goodness is not achieved by trying. The third said that anyone who questions his own salvation is listening to the devil.
