Christmas celebrates Christ
The run-up to Christmas this year for me was rather packed. I finished a very busy university semester only at the very start of December. I then went straight into two academic conferences. Almost immediately after that, I hopped on a plane for a short trip abroad with my family, only returning yesterday, Christmas eve.
So there is no Christmas tree in our house this year. (There wasn’t any time to put one up.) But even as I am kind of missing its presence, I am reminded that the Christmas trees, Christmas carols, and Christmas food that I love so much do not make Christmas special. It is Christ who makes Christmas special.
Here is a link to a post that I was led to write last year at Christmas time, for those who may be searching for the real meaning of Christmas: Dear Searching Soul
