On December 13, we start
The Twelve Days of Christmas in Virginia.
We have done this for years,
Finishing, with a flourish,
“And a Cardinal in a Dogwood Tree!”
Every night from now until Christmas Eve.
And I think about how much pleasure
This silly book gives us,
How we look forward to it each year,
The laughter and the goofiness
And the celebration of place …
And maybe I can enter in to that
In Bethlehem, a place filled with
Shepherd’s laughter
And the goofiness of a Savior’s arrival.
