Christmas 2011 was quiet day for my wife, Pat, and I. We came back from up north yesterday,from our son’s house were we celebrated with 12 children, 9 adults and three dogs. Tomorrow my brothers and family from Colorado and Iowa plus our son and family from Shawano County head our way.
However today, Christmas day, was a day in between the two family celebrations. We had a day to catch up on chores, watch the Packer’s football game, call friends to wish them a Merry Christmas and just hang around the house.
Last night at the Christmas liturgy a young woman volunteered to sing Silent Night for all of us. It was a spur of the moment decision for this woman who was just in town visiting, but it helped us all to get into the true Christmas season. Most of life is not days of big celebrations but more days like today, a day in between. Finding Jesus in quiet in between days can make Christmas every day.
