Depending who you are and where you are at in life, 'Christmas Eve' can mean very different things.
A child living in a stable and well to do family: Excitement and anticipation.
A child living in poverty and a broken home: Shame and disappointment.
A homeless person: Alienation and depression
A Pastor: Nervousness and joy.
Successful Mom and Dad: Generosity and pride.
Mom and Dad down on their luck: Embarrassment and dread.
The party goer: Exuberance and frivolity.
The deadbeat parent: Remorse and regret.
The retail businessman: Fatigue and anxiousness.
You? Fill in the blank.
"Light of the world, He came down into darkness" In all circumstances, for all people, for all times. May you keep your eyes on the 'Light' this Christmas and always.
