I'm not sure if that's the correct word exactly, but I love that special, sparkly feeling that Christmas brings. The anticipation, the warmth, the love. Even sitting in Christmas traffic you feel the bustle of Christmas and it feels different than the usual bustle.
Even non believers feel it, for the most part. It's weird. There are song about it. People talk about it. The special, magical feeling of Christmas.
I think that's Jesus. The essence of Him, in our everyday lives more so than other times of the year. A tangible feeling of Him in all the places we go. I feel Him in the glow of the Christmas tree lights. I see Him in the excitement of my children's' faces. I hear him in the songs that the whole world seems to be singing.
I love that the whole world seems to be celebrating Him, even though they don't know it. It gives me a glimpse of Heaven, and a place where everything IS Him. Won't that be cool???

I agree - even if we're celebrating it at the wrong time of year, right? :-)
I love that. Thanks for reminding me to see Him everywhere. I can't wait for Heaven!
Christmas is SO magical that Amy has dropped off the blogosphere and evaporated into fairy dust! Looking forward to your next entry..
