"Therefore let us keep the feast" (I Corinthians 5:8)
"Christmas is at our door. Let us make it festive! We need this. We who are in the midst of the grimness and worry of everyday life need to feel a bit of the stillness and peace of this season.
"There is so much that occupies the thoughts and the mind. As the time flies, the restless thoughts increase in number...
"We need to prepare for a festive day. To have everything in readiness requires work. We experience that these days.
"Do not forget the most important -
there is no real Christmas without Jesus.
Lights, feasting, singing and gifts are not enough.
Christmas does not come because of our giving, but because of
what God gave us."
(from Quiet Moments on the Way Home by H.E. Wisloff - emphasis added)
