Christmas comfort lasts all year

To the editor:

Our 3-year-old granddaughter came upon her granddad taking down the Christmas tree. With sudden tears, she grieved, "I want more Christmas."

We continue to console that the comforts of Santa fun, exchanging gifts and the dazzling lights go all too soon. Remaining is the comfort of the one born in Bethlehem. It stays for all seasons.

When just the poinsettias remain, the wonderful solace of Jesus' birth lingers. A song says it is a presence like air after the rain. This allows believers the continual comfort of Christmas cheer even in July.
