I have always enjoyed Christmas as I have said several times over the past several days. Yet for some reason, it has seemed even more special to me this year. It's kind of strange in some kind of ways because I have not engaged in the normal kind of Christmas traditions as normal. There has not been the choir practices preparing to sing the beautiful music for a Christmas service. I have only had one opportunity to gather with very special friends to enjoy Christmas together. There has not been the usual shopping and running around crazy with large crowds like in years past. But I am at peace with all that as I think maybe that has been good for me.
The Christmas decorations have been up so long at home, it seems they have become a permanent part of the normal decor and I'm beginning to wonder if I may leave them up all year. I've listened to Christmas songs for weeks and wonder why I always wait to Christmas to listen as I enjoy them so much. I have even watched more Christmas movies than normal (shhhh don't tell anyone LOL). I have enjoyed reading so many Facebook posts, seeing pictures of others enjoying Christmas to me in much simpler ways. Did you see all the pictures posted of the "Christmas Star"? It was as if the whole world stopped for those few moments to gaze upon "The Star"! I guess what I am trying to say is that this season has been real, a time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
Several days ago, I heard The Kingsmen Quartet sing "Christmas At Calvary". I'm pretty sure this is one of Squire Parson's songs and he may have wrote it while he was singing with The Kingsmen. Of course, I could be wrong as I am pretty often. But I hope you will enjoy listening to the words of this great song today!
I pray your Wednesday with be amazing!
