Gifts of the Magi - A Christmas Sampler Eugene Clemens

Christmas is all. It is childhood fantasy, beauty, playful spirits, and sweet sentimentality-all wrapped up together in loveliness. In the figure of the benevolent Santa, fully seen only with the fantastical eye of a child, is personified generosity and the cornucopia of awaiting delights. Christmas is also coziness of home, bustle of preparation, the anticipation of celebrations revisited, and stories shared with ones we love.




At its height and culmination, this supreme of all holidays elevates our selfhood to openheartedness and stirs our hopes for universal good will. Its signature of authenticity proclaimed is "Peace to All!" In the vulnerable Child we place our care for the world. In return, we receive the saving gift of hope.
