I bought this book over a year ago, when it was published, to read for Christmas and just ran across it in my TBR Pile (To Be Read). I will not finish it before Christmas but that is fine. Christmas is forever.

Publisher Synopsis
The repetition of Christmas traditions can appear to dull the powerful nature of the holiday. God Rest Ye Merry is meant to rekindle the Christian’s understanding of Advent on every front, from politics to shopping to uproarious celebration. Pastor Douglas Wilson critiques false reasons for the season (and false objections to it), teaches the importance of Israel in Christmastime history, explains why nativity sets should have Herod’s soldiers (and how Santa Claus once punched a man in the face at a church council), offers the Enlightenment Assumptions Detector test as a guide to understanding Christmas symbolism, and much more. The last section contains a read-aloud meditation and prayer for each day of Advent, making God Rest Ye Merry an excellent tool for cultivating a deep family love of Christmas.

It is always hard to find Christmas presents for my adult children. But sometimes you run across something at Costco that just says “Buy Me”
My daughter, Melanie is quite an accomplished artist. Maybe this is what she would want for Christmas.

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” (ESV)
