Reflections on Christmas

As we pack up the decorations and un-trim the tree, our hearts turn to what we have learned this Christmas season:

• Sometimes a laid back pizza party with dear friends can be as meaningful as an eight course Christmas dinner.


• When we make much of Christ, we don't have to worry so much about making little of other things.


• We've learned the value of celebrating Advent, and we've embraced the tradition of the Jesse Tree.


• The best parts of Christmas are not centered around the things we prepare for each other, but rather the time we spend with each other.
