All is Calm, All is Bright

 
 
There is a calm I feel when Christmas Eve arrives. All the preparations are complete, and I look forward to spending time with family. The presents are wrapped and under the Christmas tree. The cookies we baked together, will be enjoyed tonight with hot chocolate, as we sit by the fire. We are happy that we will have a white Christmas this year.

There is a calm that arrives with the softly falling snow and the bright lights shining in the quiet of the night.

There is a calm that you feel sitting in church on Christmas Eve, listening to the story of the birth of Jesus. Silent Night, Holy Night. All is calm, all is bright. May you all have a blessed Christmas as you celebrate and spend time with your family on this holy night.
