Oh Holy Night.

This is my absolute favorite time of year. The traditions, the music, the food, family, everything. I love it so much.

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday (with Halloween coming in at a close second.) since I was a child. I don't know if it's the magic or what but it's about that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you know Christmas is coming.

2 years ago, I wrote, produced and directed a Christmas play for my parents home church. It was based on the book "The Indescribable Gift." It's the christmas story based on Mary's point of view. When I was first introduced to the the book, I immediately thought that it would make a good show. I wrote the script and put together all the music. It turned out to be one of the best creations I have ever made. The music and script flowed so well. The actors were perfect in their roles. It was a gift from God. I was so honored to have been chosen to give that gift to so many.

I am often reminded of the Christmas story. It's so easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays. I try to imagine what it was like to have been there on that bitter cold night when my Lord and Savior entered the world. I often wonder how Mary did it. Only being thirteen and betrothed to a man well into his thirties. She was to bear the Son of God. She was bringing God himself, in human form into the world. Because of her willingness to answer the call, she was apart of saving mankind. People are enamored with the birth of Christ, which they should be and so am I, but I often think of Mary as well. What an example of faith, trust and servanthood. How indescribable.
