Preparation for Christmas

Now is a good time to prepare for Christmas.
Most of us will shop and try to find a special gift for those we love.
We'll enjoy the glitter and Christmas lights and peoples' good spirits.
Yet there is an important preparation for Christmas, to welcome and
celebrate the Birthday of the Infant Child.
We know the story of Christmas and how Christ came as a little baby
cradled in the arms of His loving Mother and how St. Joseph protected 
them from all harm.  He didn't have a wealthy home to offer, only a stable
and yet there could never be any greater wealth than the love shared by the
Holy family.
We have an invitation to share in their love for one another as we too belong
to a family / community / friends and we can welcome the Infant Child into
our hearts and homes on Christmas day.
