Stuffed with Christmas treats, I fell asleep in front of the TV during "A Christmas Story." I woke up during some Norwegian choir concert, and they were singing "Jeg er så glad hver julekveld" ("I Am So Happy At Christmas Time"). Just like we used to sing in Sunday School.
I got to remembering how things were back in the stone age. School would end the Friday before Christmas, and the only thing standing in the way of Yuletide bliss was the Church's Christmas program on Sunday night. You would sing a few songs, and say your "piece" - one line, memorized. Then you would get a brown paper bag with peanuts, an apple, and candy. It heralded the start of a week of peace and joy, free from obligations. Plus, you had enough candy to last until the real treats appeared. Just like Ralphie, your mind was cleared of everything, save for glad anticipation.
So on this Christmas Eve let me wish each of you a child's joy and peace, if even only for a moment. |
