Christmas a time for reflection as well as festivities
Most of us have our own impressions of what Christmas has come to mean in our modern culture. A time of festivity spent with family and friends; a time of goodwill and hopefully, charity. A time of beautiful decorations and colourful lights that lighten the night, of carols both secular and religious. Christmas is also a time for reflection. It is probably in the carols that many of us get a glimpse of the deeper meaning of Christmas. For example, ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’, just to name one:
“How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming
