There is a light that shines in the darkness and in the end, Christmas wins. In the days after Christmas there there’s still darkness and we will still need light. We need the light of hope for the darkness of difficulty. Difficulty didn't take a break over the holidays. We need the light of hope. We need the light of generosity for the darkness of selfishness. Christmas scratches the itch of grace deep within us. It gives us a chance to counteract that selfish streak we hate in ourselves.

And what if, rather than being a holiday, here and then gone, Christmas was a holy day that is meant to ignite a light that burns through a year of days? What if the Christmas lights are simply a metaphor of an unseen reality that the light of heaven has now invaded our world and all the darkness of the world cannot stand against the glory of that light?

What if Christmas is a reminder of the wonder that heaven is now in our midst? What if heaven is here?
