This evening I pulled the Christmas decorations down from the attic and got them ready to put up Friday. To do so, I pulled the cars mostly out of the garage, but left one of the car radios playing Christmas music. After I put all the stuff in the house, I went back to the garage where a version of Silent Night was playing.

The strength of the song was amazing. Fittingly, it was a silent night in my neighborhood and the message of the song slashed through the night. The message of Christ’s birth pierced the darkness in a fitting way.

It was wonderful. I love Christmas. Is it too early to already be writing Christmas posts?
