I love Christmas, spending special time with the family, everyone in one room together. This year was quiet, just me and the folks, and it flew by even though we didn't do very much! The lead up was the usual chaos of carol services, christmas plays, children and youth service, parties, catching up with friends and family, and much planning and prep. But the running theme through it all was that baby Jesus was the greatest gift of all! The highlight was telling the children at Kaboodle that Magdaline and Jeremiah gave birth to Jesus in a palace with an ensuite bathroom, and that the wise men, riding elephants followed a monkey to get there! They screamed at me that I was wrong, and it made me smile that throught the many activities and the numerous times they've been told the story they could listen and tell me I was wrong, and I pray hard that they will have remembered Jesus sometime today in the middle of presents, good food and family chaos.
Happy Christmas!
