One recent evening we celebrated an early Christmas with some of our family packed into our living room. It was an active couple of hours with presents being opened, decorations being enjoyed, younger grandchildren playing with new toys, older grandsons wrestling with each other, several of us engaged in a game of Uno, and numerous noisy conversations. It was great.
The following evening was quite a different scene in the same room. While my wife was busy on her computer in another part of the house, I was all alone. I turned off the lamp that is almost always on during our waking hours, leaving only the lights from the Christmas tree as the room’s source of illumination. In that dim-lit atmosphere, I had a nice, quiet time sitting there in my recliner relaxing and contemplating the meaning of the season. It was great.
