4:44 p.m. - 2005-11-24 Well � that inspiration turned out to be the making of a great and creative day. Thank you Lord! I�ve been canvassing people from around the church about their family traditions surrounding Christmas. What makes their Christmas special? What event or occurrence gives them a special feeling of anticipation towards celebrating our Saviour�s birth? And what occurred to me as I rose from my deep, dark, and strange slumber was that I needed to talk to the children in our Preschool (that operates out of our churches basement). Kids (in this case they were all 4 year-olds) have the best answers for everything, and I thought I�d share some of them with you. I asked them: �What makes your Christmas special? What do you like to do best with your family at Christmas time?� And there answers were: I�m sure that you can see that I couldn�t help but come away from this �roving reporter� experience with a smile on my face. Talking to these wee ones really made my Thursday special. I�m really glad God planted the thought in my brain this morning. I�m beginning to feel a little more Christmasy, but I�m still not quite ready for Christmas music. Go figure!
