I love
Christmas and I believe the longer the better.
It is great fun to receive packages that arrive before Christmas, which
we place under the tree to open Christmas morning. And then there are the gifts that arrive after Christmas that help us extend the
holiday. Yesterday, we received
Christmas in a box. Our very thoughtful
friends who live in another city sent us a box with a cornucopia of gifts --
each one very carefully selected for the recipient. One of the highlights of the box was a
gigantic stuffed animal that somehow fit into the box and then magically
expanded as he was released from his brown box cage. My children have spent the day playing with
their just-received gifts. And every
time I see the stuffed animal -- which happens to be an alien -- I marvel at
the magic of thoughtfulness and the blessing of friendship.
