Christmas Felt short

We took the Christmas tree down tonight. It had become a dried up fire hazard and it was rather close to the wood stove. It feels like we just put it up. We did get a rather late start on our celebrating this year. Maybe that contributes to my feeling like christmas was really short this year. It doesn't change my gratitude for Christ taking on the form of a man, dwelling with us and eventually paying the penalty for our sin. Even when it feels short I still remember, and that is why we celebrate.
