“The Western world gives itself over annually to its Claus-mass or commerce-mass.
We celebrate a reworked pagan Saturnalia of epic proportions, one in which the only
connection with the incarnation is semantic. Santa is worshiped, not the Savior;
pilgrims go to the stores with credit cards, not to the manger with gifts. It is
the feast of indulgence, not of the incarnation.”

–Sinclair Ferguson, _In Christ Alone: Living the Gospel Centered Life_ (Orlando:
Reformation Trust, 2007), 15.
