It\u2019s not easy to decide when the Christmas season begins, perhaps when Thanksgiving is over or at the lighting of the First Advent candle or when grading is over and the grades are submitted or when \u2026 it\u2019s all a part of it, isn\u2019t it. We attended Willow Creek\u2019s service on Saturday, along with my mom and dad and Kris\u2019 mom, Laura and Mark, Pat and Bob. Here\u2019s how I put it:
\n\u201cImagine\u201d is a theatrical performance of the biblical story that comes to completion at the incarnation. Excellent music, acting and graphic presentation. The animals in Eden were special. We all sang Silent Night and gave one another hugs. We enjoyed this service more than any we\u2019ve been to. Later we went to Laura and Mark\u2019s with Pat and Bob for some coffee and cookies and unwrapping some gifts.
\nOn Monday, Kris and I drove to Freeport to celebrate Christmas with our parents and families. We spent the night at my parent\u2019s home and my mom, as always, had awesome food and goodies to eat and plenty of chat. Thanks to Pete, Kris\u2019s brother, for hosting 13 of us on Christmas day. It was good to see Pete\u2019s children, Eric, Katie and Luke.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
