How the Christmas story fixed a friendship

Jenny Sawyer

“’Tis the season to have drama, Fa-la-la-la-la …” I sang ironically.

The frosty ground crunched underneath my boots, while my attitude, I must admit, was equally frosty. I was too busy feeling frustrated and unsettled about a friendship to feel even a hint of the Christmas spirit.

I definitely wasn’t in the mood to read the Christmas story. But I had a Christian Science Sunday School class to prepare for, so when I got home, I pulled out my Bible. I was not expecting this story to become a handbook for dealing with difficult relationships.
