Christmas Day, 2024

Bunny, you’ve shown us the way: enjoy a nice nap under the Christmas tree.

We don’t have a Christmas tree this year, and I’m probably lucky to be here at all–dangerous illness and all that. This is only my seventh day home, and I have a very long way to go to recovery. Meanwhile, no wreath, no lights

And yet it feels like Christmas! How can that be? My family has died out or moved far away, I’m in no condition to put up any decorations, I wasn’t able to buy any presents… Why does it still feel so much like Christmas?

The grace of God in Jesus Christ our King: that’s the only answer that occurs to me.

  1. I think that is the right answer. Blessings and prayers for continued improvement, and a blessed day to you both for all you have accomplished. I am blessed to read your good news.

  2. Merry Christmas to all! Best moments—still, quiet, peaceful, together with loved ones. Trappings not needed.

  3. My Christmas day experience is similar as my sick wife sleeps all day. It is to Urgent Care tomorrow to see if she can get some relief. I know of cat owners who will not put up a Christmas tree, but small house rabbits are not a threat.
