Wlu-en mast o-1 the work 13 done; decorations in place; par- cels wrapped; Christmas cards away; then ecomes the timie ta 1snatch a few minutes of quiet- ness -ifîwe can - and reflect upon the reaison for it ail. We havc ta assure ourselves there is a reasan back of tlhe comrimer- cialismn, behind ail the geýtting and giving, the redundant sing- ing of carols and variaus t 'ypes of celebrations. If we pause f ôr a moment we shall realize that lt al stems from ian, instinctive need for expressing thanks that goes back nearly two fhouslanid years; ta the timne when the Wise Men heard of the birth of Christ. An-d you kcnow what happened then. Because they were glad ni their hearts they feit the need of outward eiNpressiani as proaf of inward re-joicing. Sa they gather- Pd together what they considered choiece iftS ta present ta the 1In- fant Jesus., And inthatwath giving of presents ta those we love bas become symbolic of aur regard for thiem. It is a lovel.y custani - -when kept within bouiids. Too o-ften it isn't. To often we forget that love can- nat be mieasured în rdollarsý and cents; by- extravagant gifts or by, garish creetings. By contrast a gift prom-rpted by love alone is often simiplicity itself, Or it imay be just a card, or a letter ta someone whomi we want ta re- member - and whamr we wn ta !et know Ëhat he or she i e rnembered. Thet-re now, don't you think it bas been worthwhile takiig these few miinutes of quietness ta remiember the origin of Chirist- mi-as; ta rcmind ourselves tIhat it bas a very djef laite mncaning for us; that la this age of canflict- iag "sm"and "ologies-" the Christmias mnessage af love, hope. and goad flowhpstili en- dures.
