In the hustle of the season, it is really easy to get mired in the myriad distractions that abound this time of year. Work, family, and social engagements pull at us, projects and preparations need our time, and our period of rest and relaxation turns out to be neither.
Lost in all of that is why the season is here. Do we really understand the impact the Christ child brought forth? What it meant? It's not a cute folk story, it's not a trade-off for a pagan winter solstice ritual, and it's not opiate for the masses or the unintellectual.
Christ came into this world. He was crucified and died, and then didn't die. His resurrection changed everything - changes everything.
But it has a start. Emanuel. The birth. Where it all begins.
I know it's trite to pen yet another "true message of the season" missive, but given its magnitude, how could I not?

Please feel free to include any thoughts you may have. Know, however, that kiddos might be reading this, so please keep the adult language to yourself. I know, for me to ask that language is clean is a stretch...
