...my True Love gave to me: two turtledoves. Some say those doves are directly representative of the doves that Joseph and Mary offered at the Temple after Jesus' birth. Some say they represent the Old and New Testaments. Perhaps it is both. Law and grace are both evident in the life of Christ at every turn. He came to fulfill the Law, so how fitting that this smallest of sacrifices was made so soon after his coming.
Tonight we also hung the Door ornament on the tree, remembering that Jesus is the Gate (or Door) for the sheep (see John 10).
I missed the chance to read Narnia because of a rehearsal, but my youngest daughter didn't want to read it without me because it's my favorite chapter: What Happened After Dinner
So tomorrow I have much to look forward to!

Are you just reading the "first" book or all of them?
I think we're in it for the long haul. Narnia has really captured their imaginations (I can't relate, because I was 27 when I read the series).
I read the whole series with Steven, it was very cool and inspired lots of good discussion. I think he was about 7 or 8 when we started.
