"The supreme trick of Old Scratch is to have us so busy decorating, preparing food, practicing music and cleaning in preparation for the feast of Christmas that we actually miss the coming of Christ. Hurt feelings, anger, impatience, injured egos -- the list of clouds that busyness creates to blind us to the birth can be long, but it is familiar to us all." -- Edward Hays, A Pilgrim's Almanac, 1989

[To all who are marking today as the start of Advent, may you have time for reflection as well as time for shopping.]

This reminds me of when my mother said I loved the music too much and didn't love Jesus enough. In now-agnostic retrospect, she was right, but I don't think the solution would have been to give up the music.
