>>>> My son, Nicholas, was in kindergarten that year. It was an exciting

>>>> Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the
>>> holiday as "Christmas," I didn't expect anything other than fun,
>>> commercial entertainment - songs of reindeer, Santa Claus, snowflakes
>>> and good cheer. So, when my son's class rose to sing, "Christmas Love,"
>>> I was slightly taken aback by it's bold title.
>>>>
>>>> Nicholas was aglow, as were all of his classmates, adorned in fuzzy
>>> mittens, red sweaters, and bright snow caps upon their heads. Those in
>>> the front row- center stage - held up large letters, one by one, to
>>> spell out the title of the song. As the class would sing "C is for
>>> Christmas," a child would hold up the letter C. Then, "H is for Happy,"
>>> and on and on, until each child holding up his portion had presented
>>> the complete message, "Christmas Love."
>>>>
>>>> The performance was going smoothly, until suddenly, we noticed her; a
>>> small, quiet, girl in the front row holding the letter "M" upside down -
>>> totally unaware her letter "M" appeared as a "W". The audience of 1st
>>> through 6th graders snickered at this little one's mistake. But she had
>>> no idea they were laughing at her, so she stood tall, proudly holding
>>> her "W".
>>>>
>>>> Although many teachers tried to shush the children, the laughter
>>> continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together.
>>> A hush came over the audience and eyes began to widen. In that instant,
>>> we understood the reason we were there, why we celebrated the holiday in
>>> the first place, why even in the chaos, there was a purpose for our
>>> festivities. For when the last letter was held high, the message read
>>> loud and clear: "CHRISTWAS LOVE" And, I believe, He still is. Amen.
