I've spent much of the day listening to Christmas music, lighting a few candles and letting the Christmas spirit fill my place and my inner being. There's something about Christmas that amazes me every year: The Earth celebrates a child. I think it's a wonderful thought. At one time in history: God - the Creator of all things and the Ruler of the Universe became a child. God was left in the hands of a teenage mother and a poor father. This story is very touching, because it tells us something about God. Through the eyes of the child Jesus God watched the world, and made himself dependent upon Mankind. What a story - what a message. This calls for a celebration: Celebrating children, celebrating mothers and Mankind that actually was able at one time in history to nurture God into being a man. Most of all it's a time for celebrating God's love of Mankind and for God's presence trough a little child in Bethlehem 2000 years ago.
