âHow many observe Christâs birthday! How few, His precepts!â ~ Benjamin Franklin
I still have time, donât I? It just hasnât hit me yet, but itâs only the first week in December, yet Iâm growing impatient that the Christmas season hasnât moved into my mind, into my memories.
Christmas for many Americans â for many Europeans and basically for the Christian world â seems to have changed in the past few decades.
Itâs sure changed for me as I continue, each year, to grow away from those very first Christmas memories when I was a kid.
