This post refers to Jesus, but don’t worry. The ideas apply to everyone, Christian or otherwise. Also, this is a long one, so grab your beverage of choice and a scone or a cookie. When it comes to the holidays, I’m all in. Decorations in every corner. A twelve-foot tree with hundreds of ornaments. Caloric…
