Today is Christmas Eve. I like Christmas Eve even better than Christmas Day. The expectation is still in the air, the spirit of giving is abundant, and I still get to look forward to all that wonderful food. Christmas Evening I will be picking up wrapping paper, making appointments to take kids for gift exchanging at the various stores, and feeling guilty and bloated after eating "the whole thing!" Yes, Christmas Eve is the best!
This Christmas is extra special since we have a new grand baby to spoil. He has the biggest and most gifts under the tree. No one begrudges him this special treat as we were all at one time the "youngest" and got the lion's share of the gifts. He also makes us remember how amazing it is that a little boy was born in a stable and laid in a manger. We do our best to make everything clean, warm and soft for Julian, but Jesus had meager comforts as a baby. Yet he had angels singing, shepherds shouting and wisemen kneeling. Amazing!
I hope your Christmas Eve evening is everything you hope for, your Christmas Day is a shining success and your New Year the best ever.
