we took down the tree. the douglas fir that invaded our family room for two plus weeks is gone. so are the lights and the gifts piled beneath it. we've packed it in for 2006. my 33 month old son tearily asked us why we took it down. "why is Christmas done?" he asked. sadly, I was ready for it to be done. i had holiday burnout. i was ready to return to the office and to normalcy. but i bet GOD knows my son is right.
christmas is not done. so long as the efects of the incarnation continue to play themselves out in the world, christmas is not done. its not done with any of us because Jesus is not done with us. GOD keeps breaking in to our lives and reminding us who we are, who we are not, and who GOD is. GOD keeps coming, keeps invading our family rooms.
