Traditions are an important part of a family. One of the our most significant Christmas traditions has been making and using Chrismons. The word is a contraction of Christ and monogram. They are Christan symbols which remind us of some attribute of Christ which along with small white lights are the only decorations on our Christmas tree. Many years ago my mother introduced us to the concept of Chrismons and it has made our Christmas celebration more meaningful as we focus on Christ, the real meaning of Christmas.
I am grateful to be able to spend another Christmas with Hu after his difficult medical journey during these recent weeks. We feel blessed that his health is gradually improving and that he has the opportunity to continue in rehab.
Our prayer for you today is whatever your family traditions are that your focus will be on Christ, Emmauel, God with us.
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ and his presence with us, we hold you in prayer.
