In an age where Christmas comes with the greatest of expectations, we can find ourselves thrust into a situation where it has to be the best or bust. Solomon, in all of his wisdom, is going to come along and free us from the bonds of an idealized Christmas. God has good for you to experience this season and there is no need for the ultimate Christmas.

Wisdom is a good thing, even a great thing. But when Solomon turns to consider wisdom in his pursuit for ultimate meaning, it fails the test just like indulgence did before.
