It is hard to believe that we are already at the end of the first semester. With all of the Christmas activities and hustle and bustle going on from now until Christmas, I want to take a moment to reflect on the thought of Christmas. I think the thought of Christmas looks a little bit different for everyone. For some, it is going to see family or having family come home that you don’t get to see very often. For others, the thought of Christmas might be spending extra holiday hours at work. It may be thoughts of going to church services, shopping (maybe too much), figuring out a family Christmas date that works for everyone (nearly impossible), cooking, looking at Christmas lights, attending a live nativity scene, or perhaps thinking of joyful memories of past Christmases or a more difficult one. For those of us with little kids, maybe it is the thought of watching Grinch for the 122 time!
I am guessing that you have had a few different thoughts and memories cross your mind already. I think Dr. Seuss said it well in How the Grinch Stole Christmas; “Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”
I hope you enjoy time with your family and have a
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
