Tis the season!
Candy canes, cookies, family time, shopping craziness, sitting by the fire watching holiday movies....
Can you believe another holiday season is upon us?
I wanted to have a nice snowy picture to show you, to share a New England Christmas, but this year the weather is warm and the world is brown. We may still get a white Christmas but it doesn’t look promising. Will the only “White Christmas” this year be the old movie that I watched with Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney?
But the candy, the shopping, the snow - all of these are holiday traditions and the real meaning of the season - Jesus - is with us always!
So, I will keep my fingers crossed for snow, and I will shop til I drop, and I will eat too much and spend time with my family and friends and hopefully, amidst all the fun and stress, I will have time to focus on Jesus, on his birth, on the grace he brought to this world. I hope you get the time to focus on Him, too.
Merry Christmas to all!
