They tell us about bad news. Crime against persons and property seems out of control. Tragedy and heartbreak disrupts usually peaceful households. Fear grips 59 many people and traps them In economic and political struggles. These are anxious times for us all whether we consider life on a global scale or in a personal way. Caught as we are, there Is a temptation to surrender to hopelessness and despair. Yet, it is for times like these that the Church's message of Christmas is most relevant and urgent. The good news Is that we are not abandoned by God. God comes with comfort and hope most especially in those times when life Is darkest. It's an ancient message written for a captive people, Cbmfort, comfort my people. Your God will come and save you. In the birth of Jesus, God has taken on human form and moved In with us. Comfort and hope comes to us In a babe born in Bethlehem. Open your life to receive these gifts of good news. May comfort, hope, peace and joy abound in your life this Christmas and always. Peggy Kinsmen Minister of the Lucknow and South Kinloss Presbyterian Churches. Traditions at the Sande household "Twits the night before Christmas and all through the house." At our house reading The Night before Christmas is one of our Christmas traditions we do on Christmas Eve. Another tradition is putting up stockings. 1 remember when one, of my relatives told me when they were little they would -put up panty hose so lots of things would fit in. Dad wouldn't let me because he said that would be greedy. "Me," "No me It's always a fight for who will put baby Jesus in the manger scene. People put up manger scents so we will remember Jesus was born Christmas day. This year Inc and my sister Laura arc going to alter serve for Christmas Eve mass. It is usually hard to sit through 1.he mass because we are all so excited about Chrisunas. "Dad, want someone to help you carry the Christmas ,tree"? "I thought you would never ask"! Getting the tree in the house is a pain but a pleasure to decorate. As long as you....dccoratc your tree with Iovc take some love and fill it up.
