Mass, with four candles glowing on the Advent wreath...

...and pondering on that astonishing unfolding drama in today's Gospel: Mary walking along the hill country, just as the Ark of the Covenant went centuries before , and John the Baptist leaping  as David leapt before the Holy of Holies...

An afternoon visit to a dear elderly relative...darkness falling before teatime... a talkative evening visit to friends on delivery of a Christmas parcel to a godchild...home a safe haven in the rainy December night.

Reading a book about the outbreak of war in 1914 and thinking about the history of that era that shaped our own...

Attempts to think about plans for 2016, things that need to be done, responsibilities, projects.

Christmas and its message matters first and most.
