I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Angry poor people are 'enraged.'

It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now give me my camel back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now give me my camel back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I experimented with marijuana a time or two.
