Deck the halls

I've met some who say we should not put Christmas decorations up in a house, and others who cover every spare wall with so many glittery trinkets that it no longer looks like a home but a grotto.


This is Jack Hayford on the subject:

Decorating the house at Chistmas is neither a surrender to pagan
traditions nor a capitulation to commercialism. Listen:

If God commissioned angels to roll back the night and fill it with
blazing light,

if God provided a celestial choir to serenade a few startled shepherds and
graced the heavens with a miracle star,

if God went to all this trouble to open our eyes to His entry into our
world, then we needn't apologise for festooning our home with a few seasonal
reminders!

Time to go and find the box from the loft I think.
