Boo!
That’s what you say when you sneak up on somebody and scare them. Kids love to do it. They don’t know it’s dangerous to do old people that way.
When I saw that today’s date is only 12 days away from Christmas Eve, I felt like my calendar had been hiding and suddenly came out of the shadows and yelled, “Boo!,” real loud. I was not expecting Christmas so soon.
But here it is. Once again. I hope everything about Christmas goes your way this year. I wish for you an opportunity to show the love of Christ to someone in a tangible way, so that your Christmas observance will be especially meaningful to you. And to the person(s) you bless in some way.
We once had a cat that just up and disappeared one day. We didn’t see him for nearly a year. Then one day he showed up. It was Christmas Day! In the meantime, we had adopted a cat that considered this place his home, and after a long, drawn-out discussion between the two felines about who owned the Fake family, the old-timer gave up and walked away, never to be seen again. He never even got a taste of Christmas dinner. I’m sure there’s a moral in that story somewhere. I’ll let you figure it out.
