The silence of real Christmas

Mary Metzner Trammell

Christmas has the power to transform us.

Real Christmas is a quiet thing. You don't necessarily hear it in the "Fa-la-la-la-la" of music at shopping malls. Or in the "Merry Christmas!" wishes we toss at each other in the holiday rush. That's because you don't hear real Christmas with your ears. You hear its silent song in your heart.
