In all our Christmas preparations it is important to remember Jesus is the reason for the season. In my home, there is a table full of creche items, tins and books about the Christ child. My grandchildren can play with the figures as well as we can look at the pictures and read the books about the story. Each year a new book can be added to help honour the time. Some cultures put an elaborate Creche under their tree. What do you do to keep Christ in Christmas?
Like most people, not enough ...

"Christmas ... that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance ... a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved".
