Thank you for visiting our site. Our last post was about our first day of class. We didn't have time to talk about what our project is.
As we see it, Christmas was once a holiday of love, peace & good will to all men, however there appears to have been a reform within people's hearts. What was once a time of sharing holiday cheer has been remodel into a time of materialization. We believe the commercialization of Christmas is a huge factor as to why this change has occurred.
Our tactic for targeting this issue is the tried and true method of fighting fire with fire. Commercialization vs Commercialization. Our goal is to make the intangible more valuable then the tangible once again.
We know we are not alone with these feelings. Who hasn't groan or gasp, when they saw the stores stocking up with christmas decorations and preparing for holiday sales come November 1st. Or earlier in some cases.
We are hoping to get people to think that this time isn't about asking for the latest toys but about something much more then that. We are NOT going to say what we think it is about. Our message is for you to think for yourself. Nothing we can say will be as good as your own personal meaning, be it religious or not.
Our message was inspired by the Gospel of John. The first thing Jesus says within the gospel of John is "What are you looking for?" This question is repeated throughout the gospel.
"What are you looking for?"
A nagging question. It really seems to open the mind. It can leave people searching for answers, which is what we hope to do. We want to engage the world to think about what it is they are looking for, this christmas.
Thank you for visiting. Check back in with us for more information and project updates.
We are hoping to launch our website by Nov. 3rd.
Feel free to leave comments, we would love to hear your feedback.
