A silent Christmas Eve
It's shortly before midnight East coast time. Our three children are sound asleep and their parents will be following shortly.
We've laid out the preparations for Santa: a small amount of beer and some cookies. You can put the beer part down to the Irish in me. (Ideally it should be Guinness, but that's not something we normally have in the house.)
Tomorrow there's the normal madness of package opening and excited and giddy children. But what I'll be thinking back to (at least for some of the day), is that this holiday is really a chance to remember a very important birthday. About 2,000 years after it all happened. And I'll try to spend a little quiet time tomorrow thinking about that momentous birth.
Your beliefs may be different to mine. But I know that the baby Jesus was God's son and that in his short time on Earth he's still affecting my life in a positive way today.
I wish you a peaceful Christmas that is truly blessed.
Thank you God.
