Friends, here is a blessing for you this Christmas Eve and Day. A Blessingย for Christmas Eve Whatever your year has been, wherever it has taken you, Whatever difficult or easy pathway, And whatever winding or steep road, You are still…
We’ve been celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas at our house, with enthusiasm – or at least dedication – for more than twenty years. Hard to believe. In the beginning I was an eager and well-intentioned, but mostly uninformed young Baptist. I gave my husband (who was still my fiancรฉe that first year) 12 gifts in the days leading up to December 25. The next year at Christmas, when I was about to begin seminary, and we had been married for a few months, we shifted the tradition to the days after Christmas.
