My email is lisa.miller.a@gmail.com and I'd love to have a discussion about this with you. Do you agree/disagree?
I have a lot of friends who don't celebrate Christmas...friends who are near and dear. Sometimes I have a hard time articulating my thoughts on why I love Christmas. The past few years I've started doing different things for the holidays...things like resting more, reading to the kids more, ramble walking more, doing crafts intentionally and reading the bible to them. I realize it could be done as an act of worship around Easter. Somehow it seems more cozy at Christmas and more settled in my heart. When the temperature is 99 and I'm sweaty, it's almost like I don't feel like sitting and being and pondering. Another reason is that my very personality is all about party. I like being loud and fun and buying presents and being fun and loud and buying presents and being silly and joking loudly...how could I not do this in honor of Jesus...does he like it?
So, message me what you think. I really want my eyes to be more open.

Just starting reading your blog...maybe because we are slowing down because it's Christmas!!! I appreciate your thoughts and yearnings---universal if only we would admit it. Love you and blessed holy-day.
