"When you seek to fill an infinite need with finite material means, no amount of consumption will satisfy."

Every year, secular Christmas extends itself further into sectors of seasons and places it doesn't belong. It seems that no amount of time, no quantity of purchases, no amount of decorations, and no amount of indulgence will finally be enough for people who seem to need Christmas to meet some need that they have that is far greater than any Christmas display or material consumption will satisfy. Perhaps this is because we have an infinite need to worship the infinite God who alone can satisfy this need that we have. Instead, we're trying to meet the infinite need with finite solutions, and we find we are unsatisfied as a result, committing ourselves to more, and greater consumption to try to appease the restlessness of our dissatisfaction.
