A Very Old Testament Christmas · Growing Fathers – Chris Pennington
I always had a hard time sleeping on Christmas Eve! One year, my siblings and I all crawled out of our beds in the early hours of Christmas morning. It couldn’t have been much past 4:00.We were allowed to open our Christmas stockings when we woke up, and since it was technically Christmas, we wasted no time. My youngest brother couldn’t get one of his candies open, so he asked each of us older siblings. When he was promptly ignored, he decided to ask my parents.
What would you do if your kid was standing at your bed at 4am asking you to open his candy? Well, you can imagine.Christmas is the culmination of so much waiting for little hearts. It’s inherent in the season. And it turns out that anticipating Christmas is a very Old Testament thing to do.
