Prayer & Reflection: Celebrating Christmas

During Christmas, we celebrate the birth and light of Jesus Christ. It is a sacred time wrapped in love and warmth with fresh-cut evergreen and cinnamon-laced nostalgia, timeless traditions and feasts of turkey, Brussel sprouts, sherry trifles, mince pies, cranberry and bread sauce. The story of good news that had never been heard before, worthy of gold, frankincense and myrrh, is at the heart of Christmas, where lasting moments of connection are made and, in a sense, rediscovered and sometimes reinvented each year.
