Our expectations at Christmas reflect our expectations of life. If we are seduced by false expectations rather than joy, hope, peace or love, we may find disappointment, self-indulgence, and self-recrimination. If you find yourself in a season of stressful doing, try watching for the angels. “…and so the angels come”, reminding us of the truth of Christmas. Watch for them. Listen for them. They can lead you to the heart of the season.
