December 1 is this week. Who would have thought we would already be preparing to finish our year? Bright, holiday lights, tinsel, carols and sweet-smelling Christmas boughs and trees, these traditions are the heralding of Christmas day.

There is something special about the birthday of Christ our Redeemer.  A baby, an infant, born in a humble manger will save us all through his love. Each and every baby is a gift from above, a reminder of the Christmas child, a babe full of innocence and wonder.
