Mary didn’t know enough to call it Christmas, but she knew enough to be “greatly troubled” not only at the appearance of Gabriel but also over his message that she would have a child.
What was coming to her, though, was a difficult trip to Bethlehem where the child would be born in harsh circumstances.
Surely this encouraging word of his coming to you lies imbedded in these words to Mary when the promise is given that God’s Christmas present to her.

Christmas Is Coming Home - B.J. Thomas (Holiday) - Pandora Internet Radio
Although the production might be too slick for some tastes, Christmas Is Coming Home is a perfectly enjoyable set of classic carols and newly written Christmas pop songs.
There are no surprises on the album -- Thomas is in strong voice, and the synth-laden, laidback MOR pop has been a hallmark of his CCM records for years -- but it delivers exactly what fans want: a relaxed, clean-sounding, professional collection of holiday music that functions nicely as background music for Christmas parties.

Christmas shops in the U.S. now stock candles and candle-clips, so it looks as if people are turning back the clock when it comes to tree trimming.

For St. John Christ is the word made flesh, come to give life to men and this, the mystery of the Incarnation, dominates the whole of his thought.
Maybe the twelve days of Christmas should be celebrated in their entirety so we don't pack too much into too brief a time.
If Christmas is to be a continuing daily celebration, if the incarnation is to have implications for our lives throughout the year, we must remember the harsh circumstances of that holy birth.

With the exception of somewhat unusual "Overstocked," a poem about using panty hose for a Christmas stocking, and "Grandpa's Gift," which concerns a little girl's surprise when she receives a present from her recently deceased grandpa, the poems are pleasant, but offer few vivid images to make them memorable.
Celebrate the joy of getting gifts ready and decorating the tree, the anticipation of Christmas Eve, the excitement of Christmas Day, the warmth of family visits, and even the bittersweet time of putting away the decorations.
The poems are useful as a starting point for classroom discussion, craft projects, or student compositions on a variety of subjects, ranging from the preparation for and celebration of Christmas to the ideas of family, generosity, and tradition.
