Ahh Christmas! The Rockefeller Center Tree, Christmas carolers, snow drifts, icicles and stockings...Bah Humbug! Just kidding - I'm really not the Grinch or Scrooge for that matter. But this time of the year means work - lots of work. I mean, you'd think it would be a time to sit back and relax - enjoy the season and ponder the true spiritual meaning behind all of it.
And we'll try to do that after the school Christmas programs (one tonight and one tomorrow night), after the Christmas Eve Service at GCC (I hear it's going to be awesome), after a late Christmas Eve, an early Christmas morning, after gifts and too much food, and a few great football games and wrapping paper and more friends and more family. And after putting gifts together (batteries not included) and pounding the morning coffee and evening hot chocolate, and cleaning up all the toys. After a Sunday and Monday of recovery and gift returning, after mistletoe (we can only pray) and gift cards, after rising at the sound of clatter to see what is the matter...
Maybe then we'll sit back and relax.
: ) Take some time to "experience" the true meaning of the season this year...
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
