Tonight was our ward party, and I was in charge of the Primary children acting out the nativity. I spent a good part of the day, not to mention quite a bit of time these past two weeks getting ready for this. I spent several hours preparing food for the potluck, finding 40+ costumes, making assignments for the main parts, preparing the script, etc. In all of the rush, I forgot to bring a baby Jesus. What is a nativity with the Christ child? Thankfully, we found a cat in the nursery that we wrapped in a blanket and delivered to Mary a little late. This caused me to reflect on how I am celebrating the season, and if I may be forgetting again, the focus of it all.
