One of my many complaints about the [[Harry Potter]] series is that Christmas is treated as a winter holiday, utterly divorced from any spiritual meaning. She makes no effort to explain how her characters understand the person and work of Jesus. | One of my many complaints about the [[Harry Potter]] series is that Christmas is treated as a winter holiday, utterly divorced from any spiritual meaning.

From Media Musings and Everyday Spirituality:
- Honestly, I really enjoy watching Christmas flicks. They seem to be some of the most morally clean films out there as a whole. But taking a step back from the simple enjoyment of it all, you realize that what’s been done to the celebration of Christ’s birth is a tragedy.
- “The great majority of people will go on observing forms that cannot be explained; they will keep Christmas Day with Christmas gifts and Christmas benedictions; they will continue to do it; and some day suddenly wake up and discover why.†– G.K. Chesterton
