Christmas spirit alive and well at the library

Like it or not, the holidays are upon us.

Are you a “Christmas tree-goes-up-on-Nov. 1” kind of person? Or are you a “Christmas-tree-goes-up-after-Thanksgiving” kind of person? 

I’m more of a “What Christmas tree?” kind of person, because I have cats.

The meaning of Christmas

Like most Christian pastors, I was frustrated with the commercialization of Christmas and the lack of spiritual meaning expressed during the holiday, UNTIL I served as a U.S. Navy Chaplain and understood, for the first time, that there is more than one correct way to celebrate Christmas.
