I can share this now that the crisis is past. At least it is past in my house. One of the difficult conventions of Thanksgiving Day is the inviolate rule that Christmas music is toxic before dinner is over. I know that seems like a small thing but so is a virus.
I found myself getting ready. I had the MP3 player ready for the car. I had a flash drive ready for my stereo. I had a pile of CDs I picked up at thrift stores this year ready to be screened. I am ready. The problem is I find myself humming when I should be stoic. For instance, I noticed that the first song on my MP3 is “The First Noel”. I caught myself humming the melody. I hope I caught myself in time to keep the curse from settling.
As you read this, assuming you did not just go take a nap after dinner, the crisis is over in my family. Now begins a month of uplifting glorying in the Incarnation.
It is worth the wait.
