Christmas can mean so many things to different people. Happy memories come to mind just as often as sad realities bear witness for many people. Childhood Christmases evolve and don’t blink… because childhood celebrations become part of Christmas past.
I was thinking recently about different ways to identify Christmas. Here are a few of my thoughts:
Christmas is an event–people gather, people anticipate, people plan
Christmas is a path–one that gives us a direction on our holiday journey
Christmas is a bridge–connecting people, places, the present and the past
Christmas is a portrait–an artful image of sights and scenes
Christmas is a routine–it requires some repeated activity
Christmas is a time piece–measuring the passage of a year captured in a day
Christmas is a reminder– love is never far away
Christmas is a challenge–guiding us to love even in difficulty
Christmas is an evolution–nothing stays the same
Christmas is a net –capturing God’s wisdom, gifts, love and grace in the baby boy given
Christmas is….your turn!
