The cranberry sauce is on its way to the refrigerator with the rest of the left-overs. Salad. Ham. Turkey. Baby asparagus. Hasselback potatoes.
And all four of us have finished off our pumpkin pie or home-made lime sherbet with snickerdoodle and ginger cookies. The carols have been sung and the forbidden gifts have been opened.
Our Christmas was a good one for two reasons.
First, we have spent two full days together enjoying jigsaw puzzles and conversation about things we remember that never happened.
Second, all of that is a reminder to us of the purpose of the day -- to celebrate the Messiah's birth and God's plan to reconcile the world to him.
With all of that in mind, let me wish all of you the happiest of Christmases.
