Home for the Holidays

When people think of holiday travel the usual images of chaos, delays, and lost luggage come to mind. But Ben and I enjoy traveling during the Advent season. It reminds us of Mary and Joseph and the little one. So swiftly we flew to Minnesota before celebrating the incarnation of the little one with family in the city of Minneapolis. Fresh snow, clear skies, and that Scandinavian niceness put a smile on our faces in the land of the so many lakes. Alas we've now traveled back to Egypt--i.e. Philadelphia--beautiful in its own way, but not Minneapolis--it's no Jerusalem. So as the Jewish saying goes, next year in Jerusalem. Peace of Christ to you all this new year.

p.s. Please forgive the picture overload in this post...I promise to keep it to a minimum next post. :)
