It’s the Fourth Sunday of Advent, “Love” Sunday, Christmas Sunday.  There is a standard sermon for this occasion I have heard countless time in my life – that Christmas is about Jesus, not presents – that Christmas is a spiritual event, not a temporal one.  It’s a prescription against materialism.  So common is this sermon that it defined my knee-jerk reaction to this piece about the return of Christmas time tourism to Nazareth in Israel after the cease fire.  “How crass,” I thought, “that’s a very holy place – it should be about something more uplifting at Christmas than mere commerce.”  But then, as I sat here preparing to roll out the standard Christmas message, I thought again.
