Christmas is a special day. For some it is the gifts. Others like being with family. Maybe it’s the feast that is so lovingly prepared.
I like Christmas for another reason. Pretty well everything stops. It is quiet. After the hustle and bustle in all of the stores, there is not much to do.
It gives us time to reflect. It makes me think of the first Christmas, a little baby born in a manger.
Aside from the odd noise from an animal and, perhaps, the baby crying there was stillness in the air.
What a contrast to what we have made Christmas into.
For one day, today, there are no deadlines looming. That all changes tomorrow with the Boxing Day sales, but I’ll think about that tomorrow.
Silent night. Yes, I like that.
