Every Christmas $450,000,000,000 is spent in the United States alone. And every year it seems that we are more stressed out and depressed during the holiday season.

Jesus of Nazareth has been the most popular role model in history. In spite of that, the average person would admit, “I really don’t know many details about him.” Unfortunately many...
