"Christians get all bent out of shape over the fact that someone didn't say 'Merry Christmas' when I walked into the store. But why are we expecting the store to tell our story? Advent Conspiracy churches have donated millions of dollars to dig wells in developing countries through Living Water International and other organizations. a fraction of the money Americans spend at retailers in the month of December could supply the entire world with clean water. one in which people spent a little less and thought a little more, expressing their love through something more meaningful than a gift card. A movement like the Advent Conspiracy is countercultural on two fronts - not just fighting the secular idea that Christmas is a month-long shopping and decorating ritual, but the powerful conservative notion that the holiday requires acknowledgement from the nation's retailers to be truly meaningful.
