deird1I'm rather keen on Christmas, for a multitude of reasons – theological, familial, theatrical, and recreational.
Theologically, the incarnation is one of my favourite bits. You can get me totally grumpy about my faith and how annoying some of the people in it are... but then say the word "Emmanuel", and I'll very likely let out a grin and lose track of my whole rant.
And of course, I rather enjoy the having-a-day-with-family side of things, too. Especially with the five nephews I'll get to open presents with, my mother's glorious cooking, and my brothers-in-law actually being at home so I can see them as well as my sisters.
Christmas movies, as well, are pretty cool. By which I mean Gremlins, Die Hard, and While You Were Sleeping. They all rock.
But, right now? I'm mostly enjoying the fact that the husband and I are:
- both at home
- not working
- not tidying the house
- free for the whole morning
- getting to hang out together and enjoy ourselves
That's especially awesome.
