The Imperfect Christmas
Christmas was never perfect.
Christmas was never perfect.
No matter how difficult our circumstances are, nothing can take away the joy of Bethlehem. Nothing can take away Emmanuel.
Even during the present holiday cheer we can find ourselves troubled. It could be from pain that comes from losing a loved one, family dynamics that are really trying and tough, or the current pandemic. I do not have to go lengths at writing about this and would not like to depress you. For we already know what the world is capable of—sadness, despair, and a valley of tears. This piece is meant to uplift you, for it is in sadness that there we find our joy, quoting a poem from Khalil Jibran.
