Love this, Hannah! I was struck this year by the shepherd's assurance: "Let's go see this thing which HAS happened." It made me think of the confidence in verses like, "How will he not also, along with his Son, graciously give us all things?"
I appreciated the way you described Christmas feeling strange this year. When you wrote about the quietness in the house and the unexpected grief alongside joy, it reminded me how the holidays can be full of sharp contrasts. The part about missing traditions we used to do made me think about how seasons change and how we carry memories that don’t quite match the present.

Thank you Abigail! A late Merry Christmas and happy birthday to you!
LOVE the linking of these three passages. Beautiful, Hannah, thank you!
Thank you! Hope y'all had a great Christmas!
