REBELLION? REALLY? Could that really be the hidden meaning of Christmas? It certainly isn't marketed so. And yet, if we look to the character of Ebenezer Scrooge or the film "It's a Wonderful Life" we discover a profound sense of transformation, rebirth even. Why, even in Dr. Seuss's famous "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," it is clear there is a profoundly transformative aspect to the holiday season. As for the nature of the struggles related to such transformation, we see it embodied in movies like "Die Hard" and "Home Alone"... subversive, battling themes of a lone individual facing outmanned and outgunned facing and overcoming overwhelming odds. Could it be that the real underlying message of Christmas has been overlooked for thousands of years? Join us for a truly fresh look at Christmas. From the biblical tale to what are wrongly assumed to be pagan symbols, to contemporary narratives and allegories, let us unwrap the greatest gift anyone could hope to receive from the miracle that is Christmas.
