CHRISTMAS LOST

I would like to ask all Christians in Hampton Roads to become detectives during the month of December. Let's see if we can hear a carol, see a Nativity scene or see an advertisement pertaining to the birth of Christ. There have been none for the past two years.

Let's locate the culprits who are stealing Christ out of Christmas.
