We have had a marvelous Christmas Season together as a family. We have gone to live nativities, Santa events, Christmas Bazaars, and choir performances. And it is about this last experience from which today's entry comes.
While listening to our church choir's performance of 'O, Holy Night', I allowed myself to reflect on the beauty of that night so long ago. My mind's eye witnessed the angelic choir as it sang praises and glory to the baby Jesus. I love that song.
My seven-year-old son leaned over and said, "I don't get it."
"What don't you get?"
He went on to explain, "Why are they singing about 95?"
"Now I don't get it. What do you mean?"
"Oh, hear the angel voices, O Niiiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiiii-nty-Five".
The best part: He was dead serious.
And that's Christmas by the Numbers.
