This is a little embarrassing to admit, but we have gone off the deep end. Alan and I started decorating for Christmas this weekend, almost a week before Thanksgiving. The wreaths are on the windows and the trees are up, although ornament-less for now. It will take a few days before our house is back in order after emptying our attic of Christmas decorations. I was grumbling a little while decorating, wondering out loud, "WHY do we put ourselves through this? WHY do we make such a big deal about decorating for Christmas when it feels like a chore?" The answer became clear to me right away...BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT THINGS ARE DIFFERENT AROUND HERE.
The Christmas season is a time for celebrating personally and publicly that Jesus was sent into the world to make a difference. He had a different kind of birth. A different way of ruling. He wore a different crown. And He has shown us a different kind of love.
Yep. Something is definitely different around here.
