The 24th

Happy birthday, my dear Jesus. I wish I knew how to celebrate Your day. I am certain it's not about the lights and the tinsel and the food and the gifts. To be sure, Christmas is not about these worldly things. The first Christmas, after all, was most simple. Your birth was a story of perfect humility; nothing at all like the obscenely ostentatious, over-the-top holiday we have somehow managed to create around it. Christmas isn't supposed to be like this. To be sure.

I wonder how You are feeling right now, seeing the world celebrate Your day the way it does.
