Christmas

I love Christmas.

I love all the Christmas songs with words so rich with meaning.

I love the planning and organising.

I love the excitement and anticipation.

On the eve of Christmas we were strolling along the beach
with hundreds of people from around the globe, eating gelato.
Dress-up characters, Christmas lights, children blowing bubbles,
glow sticks, people eating in outdoor cafes, fireworks on the beach front.
All contributing to a buzz not experienced at any other time of the year. 

On Christmas Day we attended a formal church service
steeped in ritual and tradition.

So holy.

So joyful.

So peaceful.

Thankyou, Jesus.
