Mientras nos preparamos para celebrar la maravilla de la Navidad una vez más, a menudo nos inundan recuerdos deslumbrantes de Navidades pasadas. Esperando impacientemente como un niño a que Papá Noel nos traiga juguetes. Sentarse con familiares y amigos para una comida alegre. Ir a la Misa de medianoche, oler el incienso y escuchar las campanas. Decorar la casa y colgar luces exteriores. Sintiendo la alegría y la belleza de la estación. ¡Darse cuenta de la cercanía de Dios!
