Today will be a long day but a day that I look forward to all year long. We will do 4 Christmas Eve services at church tonight (one less than some years). The first one will be at 3:00 and then we get started again at 7:00 and do it again at 9:00 while we wrap up things at 11:00 with a traditional Christmas Eve service.
It is in the midst of these services that I'm able to remember what Christmas is all about and to lose the bah humbug feeling. I'm not sure that I can tell you exactly why this doesn't just become another thing to get through, but it doesn't. It is a joyous time when we get to tell the Christmas story and greet people that are old friends as well as new friends and those we haven't met before. Now tomorrow I'll be dead tired, but it will all be worth it and I'll look forward to doing it all over again the next year.
