I’ve been home from work for about twenty minutes and I’ve already cracked open the Christmas wine and I’m chasing it with chocolate. It was that kind of day and I knew it would be when the very first customer I spoke to was cuh-ra-zy.

Please tell me what kind of business starts their most important fiscal event, the one upon which the entire year rides, on Christmas Eve?

Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter
You are winter

And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
And what was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how you make me new
With every season’s change
And so it will be, as You are re-creating me
Summer, autumn, winter, spring.
