12-25-08

Be reminded of the words the angel proclaimed on that first Christmas Day, "Behold, I bring you good news of great joy which come to all the people."

I wasn't very comfortable with Anastasia putting the goat on the platform this year when she set up the Willow Tree nativity. "Goats climb" she argued. The idea has grown on me in the past month; now I love the goat up there watching down, I think it is another new tradition.

Xander and I are up incredibly early today. No Christmas season is ever as quiet, peaceful, and reflective as I imagine it should be, but these wee hours help.

Merry Christmas! May His many blessings be upon you today and always.

That is a beautiful nativity. Our nativity comes to us from the folks at Playmobil this year. Well... at least it is fun. I yearn for something as beautiful as your Willow Tree set...
