Christmas. It is a time to write obligatory notes of thanks and appreciation which we should have been doing the entire year. A time to celebrate & feast on God's abundant provision and love for us through Christ, which we should celebrate in every moment of our redeemed lives. A time to be happy and pretend all is well with the world when God has commanded us to be content in all circumstances, both good and bad. So forgive me if I dont seem to enjoy this very much - because some things like broken families, strained relationships and a God-less society remain a constant. Plus the social pressure of gifts and pleasantries become distractions that are too easily welcomed.
