The day is here; it's Christmas.
The cookies are baked. The presents are wrapped. The tree is aglow. The star is in the sky. The inn is full. And there's a newborn baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, taking His first physical breaths of the world.
It's a scene, as I said yesterday, that we're so familiar with. It's cozy down in our bones. We look around at all that this season is, and something about it feels like home.
As it should.
Today, I want to encourage you to wrap yourself in this moment. Let it be all around you. Pull it in close like a cozy blanket. Snuggle it in around your shoulders and wrap yourself up.
Make yourself...present.
Be with the moment. Be with the season. Be with your loved ones. Not on your phone. Not on your social media. Not glued to the television screen. Be with your people, your place, your person. Be with the baby Jesus, God in flesh, come to dwell with you. Yes, even today. Even all these years later.
Wrap yourself in Christmas and be present.
God bless us, every one.
