An American Express survey about Christmas gifts found that fruitcake was chosen most often (31%) from a list of “worst” holiday gifts.
It even finished ahead of “no gift at all.”
When asked how to dispose of a bad gift, 30% of those surveyed said they would hide it in the closet, 21% would return it, and 19% would give it away.
Worst Gifts Ever from Readers Digest-
1. “I know my best friend meant well when she gave me an electric bug vacuum, because she knows how much I hate insects.
You trap a bug in one end of a tube, then press the trigger to suck the bug into wherever part collects the dead bodies.
The whole idea grossed me out so much I never even opened the box!” –Beth Weinhouse.

2.“One of my relatives is known for giving horrible gifts, and the year I was 16 I got a plain fleece blanket—the type that rolls up for easy transport.
Clearly, I wasn’t thrilled, so I tried to return it.
Well, that failed when customer service told me the blanket hadn’t been sold in stores… for three years!”
–Alyssa Jung.

3. “Every Christmas, cousin Nancy sends a box of holiday surprises: rice pasta (I am gluten intolerant), bars of Ivory soap, or perhaps Trail Mix.
But this trout tie?
Yes, Nancy remembered that I love to fish, but it’s as ugly as sin.
I haven’t had the nerve to wear it for 15 years, yet I put it on now so you don’t think I’m making the story up.” –Fran Lostys.

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
We learn the game at an early age Hide and Seek.
We often spend this life seeking.
What and why are we seeking what we are seeking.
In the Old Testament the Saint longed to just look for a promised land.
Moses …
Deuteronomy 32:48-52
They were just looking for a land we have the privelege to look and see the Lord.
To look at God was
In the Old Testament to look at God was not possible.
Gather around and look with me at Jesus in the Manger.
Jesus the God Man presented given for our Salvation.
The “Lamb” to be sacrificed for sin 1:29;36
The “Water” to the thirsty 4:14; 7:37
The “Bread” for the Hungry 6:35
The “Light” for those in Darkness 8:12
I was reading an article and it was saying how some have out grow the baby in a manger.
We can’t appreciate anything because we have overheard this.
We grew up with the Jesus story, until we outgrew it.
The last day we walked out of Sunday School may be the last day we seriously engaged this faith.2
