Thanks for the (Christmas) memories

Thank you to the editors of Angelus for coming up with the “Christmas Memories” feature in the Dec. 27 issue. Some of the winning essays were quite moving.

I’ve always been skeptical of people who reduce Christmas to warm, fuzzy feelings. Christianity is much more serious than that. But reading those memories, I was reminded that it doesn’t have to always be about dramatic conversion stories; sometimes, a little nostalgia can speak to the heart in mysterious ways.
