The Eve of the Eve

Year after year, the time between Thanksgiving to Christmas has become increasingly more frenetic.  Although many people look to Christmas Eve or Christmas day as the more celebrated days, I would just like to cast my vote for the eve of the 24th as one of my favorites.  Naturally, the significance of Christmas for Christians is unquestioned, but with the commercialism that has overwhelmed the holiday, sometimes the meaning of this holy night looses its focus.  For this reason, I have always enjoyed the 23rd, nearly as much as the 24th or Christmas day itself.

In anticipation of Christmas, I wish for peace, happiness, and the joy of the season to be carried throughout the year.  On this eve of the eve, I can comfortably say, "I believe".  Merry Christmas!
