I bought my first Christmas presents at the Walmart Monday morning at 3:00 AM. For as long as I can remember, Ken and I have always done Christmas bags for our Meals on Wheels guys. When one of his guys is in a Scout Troop, the troop usually does cards. It is a mixture of oranges/apples/homemade cookies and whatever else we can find plus some type of decorated bag.
Christmas has been on the downswing for the last couple of years at my house. Mom was so whacked about Christmas 2 years ago and last Christmas, we spent with Mom at her house.
There will be a lot less outside stuff happening and hopefully a little more inside stuff happening this year. Some years, I get so wrapped up in the what and forget the why. I forget this is the beginning, when the word becomes Flesh and walked among us. When a small baby in a far away place is born. And in this small baby, the infinite divinity of our God is realized.
