It's only a day after Thanksgiving; the tastes and smells of a turkey dinner with all of the trimmings are still fresh in my mind. However, today's focus shifted toward Christmas. After crashing into bed last night, my wife and son and I headed back out to Stayton first thing this morning, to reunite with our other children and their grandparents. The goal of the day was to remove the Fall/Harvest decor and set up for Christmas. This is a well established tradition for our children, whom know especially well that the day after Thanksgiving means decorating the tree and listening to their grandfather tell the story of the meaning of the candy cane.
That's pretty neat, isn't it? I'll bet you'll never view a candy cane in the same way again.
In the days that follow, especially as consumerism shifts into high gear, it's important to remember the true meaning of Christmas. It's all about the birth of Christ.
Good Night
