The Christmas season always seems to fly by, but this one came and went more quickly than ever. Might have something to do with the fact that we celebrated Christmas in hot, tropical weather -- this was definitely the furthest thing from a white Christmas that I've ever experienced.
In a way, though, being away from all the stereotypical markers of Christmas (snow, lefse, chocolate, apple-cider, gifts, etc) helped bring the true meaning of Christmas in to focus. I just wanted to share with you some words from my favorite radio program and podcast, NPR's Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippet. In the following link, you'll find a short interview with Joan Chittister, who shares her thougts on Christmas in a time of economic crisis, and the virtues of generosity, serenity, and spirit:

And finally, a belated wish of ¡Feliz Navidad!
