Merry Christmas! I spent the day as most people – exchanging messages of Christmas cheer on social media, sharing pictures with those far away, opening gifts and surprising people with theirs, and eating too much yummy food. I talked to my travelling brother. I read lots of wonderful Christmas messages and stories of many people helping others in need. I thought about all the priests and pastors who have spent so much time the last couple of days helping all the rest of us have a meaningful celebration and said a prayer for them. I believe what I enjoyed most was spending the time with my family. Both my parents were feeling well and were happy to see my sisters, brother, brother-in-law, and nephew.

I Found God today in celebrating Christmas and sharing joy with many people in many different ways.
