If dangling mistletoe makes an inebriated co-worker at the office party hard to resist, then look up T for Temptation, and James 4:7 "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
Back to the free bar anyway.

If your expecting a Sony Wii under the tree but get a jumper with a downhill Skier on it, lose that disappointment and check out Timothy 6:7-12; "We brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it."

But its not all thrift and abstinence. What could better at this time of the year than Luke 12:19 ; "Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."

Amen.
