"Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!" ― Dr. Seuss

In this special Christmas episode of the Peeves & Q's Podcast, Pastor Dare Stevens (UMC) joins us to talk about the commercialisation of the Christmas season, and whether or not we have lost the Reason for the Season. Along the way we find out about the long history of the argument, tackle the different perspectives between the secular person, the business person, and the religious person, and how they perceive the commercial aspect of Christmas, and ponder what a modern Christmas really looks like and how we probably should be approaching the season as a whole. A very heartwarming and comfy episode for you this holiday season!
