Next week, Wake-up Wednesday will fall on Christmas morning. It has most definitely snuck up on me this year. Thankfully, as a family, we decided to draw a name and exchange only one gift, so the shopping pressure is greatly lessened. I am grateful for any escape from the commercial intensity of Christmas. I went to Wal-Mart the other night to pick up a few items and was shocked at how many aisles had been converted to toy aisles for the holidays.
This brought to mind the Charlie Brown Christmas Special and the fact that the show and the book directly quote Luke 2 - the true reason for the season. (Can you guess what Story-time Saturday will be this week? ;)
