Every Christmas, my family gathers around, each taking a turn to stumble through the grand words of Luke 2, etching a tradition that's as much about laughter as it is about the miraculous tale it tells. This Christmas Day, as I cozy up with a heart brimming with joy, I'm inviting you into that precious circle. Let's share the deep-seated warmth and love that only this time of year can bring, reflecting on the true meaning of our celebrations—the birth of our Savior. Picture us together, you in your festive jammies, coffee in hand, surrounded by love, as we give thanks and revel in the hope of promises yet to come.
Today's episode is a heartfelt journey through memory lane, sprinkled with chuckles at Christmases past, and a reading from Luke 2 that might just bring a tear to your eye or a smile to your face. It's a story that never grows old, no matter the occasional trip over a word or two. You'll hear the echoes of a heavenly chorus and feel the peace and joy of a narrative that has stood the test of time. So, settle in for a tale that's been told for millennia, and let's celebrate the Christmas story together. Merry Christmas to each of you, dear listeners, and may your day be as splendid as the story we cherish.
