Merry Christmas!

After the warmest December I have ever experienced, it hardly seems time to be wishing you a Merry Christmas, and, yet, here we are. 

I hope that you are blessed with a relaxing day with family and friends. May the season truly be merry and bright for you.

I hope you find some great books under the tree with your name on them. I had a bunch on my list this year, including The Night Circus, Reading Lolita in Tehran, and Blood, Bones, and Butter.

I hope not only Christmas, but 2015 as a whole finds you warm, well-fed, healthy, and safe this Christmas. So many people around the world cannot claim those adjectives as their own. Take time to remember them this year and to help if you can. 

Most of all, I hope that this Christmas will be full of love for you. Not only the love of those around you, but also the love of God. After all, His love is what the celebration is all about. God loved us so much that He sent the most precious gift we could ever dream of: redemption through His Son. If you want to know more about that gift, please let me know! I would love to share with you about what Christmas means to me. 

Merry Christmas to all!
