No sermon here, no text. Just a link to the audio of our Christmas Eve worship of Lessons and Carols, filled with the story of Jesus' birth and lots of great music: favorite carols, but also great solos and duets by our singers.

Christmas is the day that we celebrate Jesus' birth. He more than likely wasn't actually born on December 25 (good chance he was born in March, but we just don't know). It is the story of God's incarnation on earth, God's indwelling with humanity.
What does Christmas mean to you? For some, it is a time of great joy. For others, it is a time of distress and bad memories. We have commercialized the day an awful lot, and put a lot of pressure on people to have a "perfect Christmas", as Normal Rockwell as possible. I find that unfortunate, though Christmas is still my favorite time of year: cold, snow, sitting in front of the fire place, sharing presents and good food with family I love.
