Let me set the scene for you: it’s a silent night and you’re home sweet home for Christmas. The weather outside may be frightful but you’re toasty warm with a mug of hot chocolate (with extra marshmallows) in hand. The tree is decorated with your favorite keepsake ornaments and the twinkling lights dance magically over the glittering baubles. Christmas music is playing — Frank Sinatra and Burl Ives classics, and Judy Garland's Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. A Christmas movie comes on next, and you enjoy Christmas cookies and candy canes while you lounge in your cozy socks. Flickering candles set the mood to lure your better half under the mistletoe. Gifts for loved ones are wrapped in pretty paper with sparkly ribbons and bows. And a reminder of the most precious Gift ever, Jesus Christ, comes to hearts and mind as you view the Nativity. Hearts are grateful. Love is overflowing. Glory to God is given. That's just about all I could ever dream of for Christmas!
