Please pick your favorite Christmas event:
- The Rockettes in concert
- A big boat parade with Santas on each vessel
- Dancing the night away to big band music
- Pondering the birth of Christ to a single guitar playing "Silent Night" in a candle-lit sanctuary
For me - it's the last one, hand's down. I love parades of most any sort. I enjoy the Rockettes and amazed at how they do what they do. I don't really dance (except for that number in "Two From Galilee), but simple beauty at Christmas ~ well, it just can't be topped in my book.
So what does that reveal about me? My Starbucks quiz says I'm easy to please although somewhat particular. My art style quiz says I like to dream up my own civilization or such... I honestly can't recall what either summary of my psyche 'truly' revealed. But this I know ~ To think of the King of Heaven coming to earth to rescue folk like me, as a little baby... wonder and awe seem to be the celebration of choice this year. God becoming man. Watching movies like "Elf" doesn't seem to quite to cut it.

Yes, may I join you in the sanctuary? All the difference... it makes all the difference...
Nothing brings my heart into worship than the silent night, o holy night of our Lord Jesus' birth.
Yes, yes, yes...I want to join you in the sanctuary, too. :o)
Dancing the night away to big band music (ok...big band is a stretch), but I've got some dancing in my bones. Plan on doing a lot of it in heaven.
