Christmas

I have noticed that most of the blogs I follow have not posted anything (or very little) in the last 1 to 2 weeks. I guess that has to do with the holidays. I wonder if blogging is something we do in the absence of social events . . . or if more social events simply mean less time to blog. Well, for me it was just not enough time.

Every year I think I'm going to get my Christmas shopping done early and not at the last minute, but it never happens. In consequence, my week before Christmas is very busy. Add to that the fact the two days after Christmas my four-year-old got sick with the stomach flu. You know, an autistic child doesn't know how to tell you he feels sick, so it just comes out without warning. I've been doing lots of laundry and cleaning. He's better now, except that his stomach is sensitive.

In spite of all that, though, it has been a good Christmas, because it was, for me, a Christ-centered Christmas. I purposed that it would be. Not just in reading the Christmas story before opening presents (which we did), but in being conscious of His presence and His place in this season.
