A time for family, food, songs, and all kinds of traditions that may or may not make much sense. Most importantly it is a time for us to rejoice and celebrate the birth of our Savior! Brian and I are experiencing Christmas a little differently this year than in years past. We now have a 2 month old little boy.
Having Patrick has made me think about the Holy Family a little differently. I take care of the little guy...changing diapers and feeding and such...and I can't help but think Mary and Joseph did this for Jesus. It's strange but all the little things I do for him seem so trivial and unimportant sometimes. But, if I think of it more like I am modeling Mary, then that is exactly what I should be doing. :) Mary didn't have to worry about Jesus crying or passing gas during Mass though. 8 pm and Midnight Mass ...Mary, mother of our Lord, pray for us.
Merry Christmas!
