The Christmas season is now upon us. I remember last summer in Nürnberg thinking how cool it would be to be here for Christmas and see the 'Weihnachtsmarkt.' Well, lo and behold I am here and it has been great. They seem to make such a big deal out of Christmas and rightfully so. It does not seem as commerialized as our North American Christmas and at least they still call it their equivalent of Christmas instead of changing it to "Happy Holidays" & "Seasons Greetings" to appease our secular culture and remove any mention of Christ.
Another thing I found amazing was how many Nativity scenes are around the city...in every shape & size.
There definitely seems to be a quiet, gentle Spirit here.
"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." -Matthew 1:23 (KJV)
