We should be focusing on the coming of Christ our savior, not thinking
of Jesus' incarnation as an historical event of the past. Try to remember
that His coming into the world is a daily event and we all can do better by
greater faithfulness to Christ and the Gospel. Beyond the Christmas tree
and the beautiful gifts (all a part of the celebration) we need to pray for the
strength to withstand the frustraions that come day-to-day allowing us to
"offer it up", bearing the crosses that will prepare us for eternal life. Do much
praying during these next 4 weeks leading to a happy and Holy Birthday Party!
