Commitment to Resist
the Consumer Christmas


In response to God's great gift, I will:

Remember whose birthday is being celebrated;
Earmark at least 25% of my Christmas giving budget for those who are truly in need of my gifts;
Set aside time each day to read Scripture, pray, be still and prepare for the coming of the Prince of Peace;
Include the hungry, the stranger, the sick and the imprisoned in my Christmas celebration;
Strive to be a peacemaker in my family, community and world;
Take back my celebration of Christmas from the marketplace by resisting consumer pressures to spend beyond my means.
