In the days that follow it, the titular question is invariably asked by enthusiastic Christmas celebrants. I'm sure the very heart of Jesus thrills at the inquisition. Not: "What did you do for the less fortunate?" Or maybe: "Who did you tell about what Jesus has to offer them?" What is my point? Oh, yes.
I got a GPS-unit, some games, and books to keep me busy. At first I was a little skeptical about the usefulness or accuracy of such a little thing. As it turns out, though, it's one of the most impressive gadgets I've used in a long time.
It's accurate enough to help you find your car in a parking lot. It keeps track of exactly mileage, speed, and heading. (And those were just the most evident features.. I haven't even really sat down with the thing.) You can't have it.
We had a wonderful family Christmas. Presents, food, hanging around the house together. I really enjoyed myself, but I can't shake the feeling our celebrations are getting more and more cursory. Habit instead of heartfelt. Maybe I'm just being cynical.
Fancy that.
