Having a Christmas tree is something most of us do each year and probably take for granted.
But we can forget that many can't have a tree. Maybe because of space, maybe because of money. Or some other reason.
No doubt these people still have their own ways of making the house feel festive. I was a friend's house once - a student house - and they had a small tree in a pot. Not a huge thing, but it was still Christmassy.
Still, those of us who do have the money and space for a large tree can be thankful for this small part of the holiday's fun. Choosing the tree, spending an evening decorating it with the family, sitting as I am now, and watching the lights twinkle.
Thank you God for the small things that go towards making this time - when we remember your birth - so special.
