It's been raining for days here, it's hard to tell whether it's night or not. My apartment is cold and damp all the time. Last night I went for a walk, and didn't bother to take an umbrella because the wind would render it useless. A life - size nativity scene has been put up at the corner of my street, and if you stand close to it, you can hear electronic Christmas carols. It's ghastly really but I'd miss it if it weren't there. This time when I looked at it I thought it would make more sense if all the wise men were gathered around the manger looking at the baby, and I actually smiled. Give your son a hug for me would you?

It's astonishing what touches the heart at this time of year, isn't it?

It is! Astonishing, embarrassing.
But I will never be astonished by being touched by your son having only the backs of the wise men showing because they were all looking at the new baby.

I had completely forgotten that. I need to write down those things so that I can take them out when I need a lift of spirits. Thank you so much for remembering and reminding me and giving me that lift.

I too, am moved by the warmth of the season- no matter that I live in a four season climate!
I found myself agreeing to "adopt" a child for Christmas even though our finances are a little tight.
Someone at my workplace set up an Angel Program. They got a list of a bunch of local poor people who cannot afford to buy gifts for their children this year and put up 2 paper angels with each kids' names along with a 1) want and 2) need. So as the mother of a 13 yr old boy, I got to buy an adorable little outfit (with little sherpa suede boots) for a 1 yr old girl for Christmas. It felt good, even while handing over the debit card to the cashier!
