As I watched our great granddaughter Renee the other evening – removing decorations from this small tree on their deep, farmhouse windowsill, then replacing them in a new location – I thought about the wonder of Christmas for young children.

I love when families with small children have a manger set or Christmas tree that can be rearranged by young children.

I hope I will never lose the wonder and delight of Christmas when we celebrate the old, old story – the story of when the birth of Jesus was brand new.

I pray that you will be blessed with the peace and wonder of Christmas.
