Sign of the times

(UPDATE: Thankfully I’m not the only one who’s feeling a bit aggrieved today.)
Driving to work today, I saw the latest Tui billboard – and I’m a bit angry about it.

Tui Billboard Christmas 2008

(Created using: Interface 7 Tui Billboard)

I’m upset not because of any moral outcry or thought of blasphemous affront. I’m upset because it’s a sorrowful sign of the times, where less and less folk actually understand the reason for Christmas in the first place. And it doesn’t take a theologian to figure out that “Christmas” refers to Jesus Christ.

A couple of other signs of the times:
