antipodean christmas

A light dusting of snow. orange sunrise lighting the bare trees, a hint of blue sky..remind me of a poem Brenda shared at our Heart Listening group yesterday; her father in law had written it about what you really need to have to make Christmas Christmas....what would be on or off your list?

Snow scenes aren't on the list-we don't need a white Christmas to have Christmas. We then wondered about the southern hemisphere when Christmas is mid summer, not mid winter.....what's on their Christmas cards?

Point is, Jesus comes again, and again, and again as a vulnerable infant, just so he can come to my vulnerability....how do you put that on a card? You don't, you put it in your soul.

May this Christmas Eve be full of the day's richest blessings, which are there, slightly hidden only by the busyness.
