Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection. Both quiet moments and hurried hours blend together in celebration with family, friends, and strangers alike. Christmas is a season of preparation and planning, as well as surprises and wishes that create a lifetime of memories and an untold number of family traditions. During this period when there is so much to do and so much to celebrate, take time to savor the real spirit of this season and to celebrate what Christmas is truly about—the birth of the Christ child in a humble manger.
