Happy Holidays! I made an animated gif for you.

At the Eddleman house, we are snuggling in for a warm Christmas Eve (and enjoying the white Christmas just outside!). Whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year, I hope it is the merriest!

Who would I be like?

I came across this poem that I wrote 7 years ago. I am not a poet by any stretch of the imagination, but this poem means a lot to me, so I thought I'd share.

When I think of Christ’s birth

In days long gone by

I wonder who I’d be like

If I had been nearby.

Would I be like the Innkeeper

So kindhearted and so good

That even though I didn’t have much

I’d still give all I could?

Would I be like the Shepherds

So humble and so mild

That the angels would come to me

to share news of the Christ child?

Would I be like the Wise Men

So dedicated and so meek?

That even though the way is long

It’s Christ I’ll always seek.

Or would I be like the travelers

So weary and unaware

Too distracted to know Christ is near...

Too busy to even care.

Christmas can get so hectic

While trying to make things great

This year I want to remember

That it’s for Him we celebrate.

I’ll remember with each gift I give

With every carol that I sing

With every star that I see

It’s about the birth of my King.

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope it's an absolutely wonderful one for you and yours.
