People will trai.c1 great distances in order to he with their families and lot .-(1 ones at Christmas. The Christmas slurs as recorded in the Gospel of St Luke is the story about a family who went home 'In those days a decree went out from Caesar August us,t hat all the world should be enrolled And all went to he enrolled. each to his own And Joseph also went to Bethle- hem. becatise he ttiv, of the house and lineage of Oat id That was his home He belonged there. as did ewes one else of King Oat id • s rotal fine.

Today, as another Christmas celebration approaches with all , its glorious music, fun and gaiety, a decree goes out that all the world should go. each to the place where he belongs.

He invited himself into the whole human predicament, right smack in the middle of it, where the pressures mount. and tempers rise; where people hate and disappoint and are hopelessly muddled. where people 'lose the meaning of it all. and spin forever on the merry-go-round of huinan existence. God comes into it all • to experience life in all its fullness. The Christmas carol says it plainly: "Love came down at Christmas". Love. came down - the embodiment of all that love can be; the example and the experience are one. The experiment is over ; in Christ. God came home at Christmas. • , In these, dayS. the theme returns again: "Are you going home far Christmas?" lust in body, but in soul and in the spirit of that love that came into the world in that first Christmas. The family doesn't need your gifts as much as they. need YOU. This is the one place where you are irreplaceable. There will only be one of you there. It is the one place where no one else can take your place. There may be other areas of life, where you are important • even some place where you are essential for some operation; but it is only in the home that you are irreplace- able. In our modern world. of misplaced values and conflicts, as we do our part as the script requires. there isn't uch room to be an in- vidual any longviithe world squeezes us a certain mold and makes us become what we never were intended to be. or wanted to be. But, it is so much different in the home. Home is the place where we used to dream; where the whole world was our stage. and we could set our own goals. It was the one place where things were simple • before the world became .-nmplicated and we became complicated with it. The Gospels testify that God is at home in his world.
