Why would buying a tree and decorating it with my son in the morning, make me extremely irritable on the way to church in the afternoon, and cause me to burst into tears while singing 'The Virgin Mary had a baby boy', immediately before I was due to get up and preach? I don't understand myself...
To misquote that wonderful film The Chain, 'Christmas is a very upsetting experience, people get upset'. Maybe if I get it over now, I will behave perfectly on the big day itself?
By the way, the sermon still went pretty well.
