Who can stand up against December's sin tradition? Even most Christians are not planning to stop by the church on Christmas day. They will be elsewhere. The December wave has succeeded in even sweeping Christians away from their holy place. Even with Christmas lights everywhere, the texture of Christmas as a holy day is fading. As the church loses its hold on the Christmas season, new authors are seizing the gap and a new story is progressively being written: Staggering past the manger and other christmess stories.

December vice veterans plan for the Christmas season many months ahead. Among the veterans are inventors of new ways of doing evil. These open-minded and well-funded inventors run the vice research and production dimensions. They make vice remain trendy, more accessible and more dangerous. Among the veterans are recruiters. These are the vice salespeople who are masters at reframing the venomous question "Did God say?" The vice sales force has great charm. Even bishops and well-reputed virtue carriers are dared, not spared. The December vice gates are open to rookies! They have promotional offers, complete with personal coaches. Vice sampling is heavily discounted - even free in places.
