Christmas celebrates a similar moment for us - God breaking through to
our world. In a feeding stall of all places.

He won't sit back while we miss out. So He entered our world.
He sends signals and messages: H-o-p-e. L-i-f-e.

an unquenchable spirit.

Christmas - that magic carpet that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like

Christmas has been, as for many, something of a challenge to find the best
way of being together across distance and differences.
The biggest difference and perhaps distance has been between the family
and the rituals of Christmas at home and then Christmas
and its message in church - which speaks of poverty as well as generosity.
Robin Morrison, Christmas Poems

At Christmas we decorate our trees with festive lights and ornaments.
But the real "tree" in the Christmas story

Christmas is a charming and memorable season for children,
and it is perfectly reasonable for well-informed adults to enjoy cribs,
candles, and carols,
decorated trees, presents, and family feasts. It is not possible,
however, to be a well-informed adult believer without adding
to the value of the Christmas
celebration by searching for the deeper meaning of the gospels,
a meaning that is beyond the comprehension of young children.
