At Christmas we do a huge amount of musing, and rightly so. There are gifts to buy, parties to plan, cards to send, decorations to put up, places to go, and the list goes on. These are important things to focus on in preparation for Christmas. Joyce Treblico's Christmas Musings complements these preparations by reminding us to also focus on the true meaning of the Christmas season: the birth of our Savior. In the midst of all the important, joyful, and sometimes tedious preparations for Christmas, do we ask, 'Why are we doing this?' Do we remember why? Do we even know why? Sharing the reason for the season with your family will enrich your holiday season and encourage you to record and cherish your own Christmas Musings.
