Christmas is my favorite time of the year. Long past is all the chaos you describe. Online shopping has solved the issue of crowded stores. (not to mention planning ahead and shopping in October and November) Family attitude has matured and now it's more of a challenge to NOT buy too much for my granddaughters. My daughter deserves credit for advocating for "limited" gift giving.
Most of all, I enjoy the start of winter. A descending of quiet peace on the world with gentle snowfalls and cooler weather. Enjoying a mug of hot chocolate (okay I pretty much do that year round), a good book, and enjoyable music (yes you can find absolutely delightful quality *instrumental* Christmas music).
Chad,
What a beautiful painting of words about Immanuel’s first coming you have given us! It is both heartwarming and soul awakening.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours in Christ our King,
Steve Hotze
