Dear Editor, We often reflect on past Christmases. We look back to the past because we have experienced the past. We haven’t experienced the future.

Dear Editor, Christmas is a joyful season but always has some challenges. The place of Christmas is often a question. Mary and Joseph ended up in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. They had gone there to pay taxes. Paying taxes is never fun but something we have to do. The place they ended up when Jesus was born was probably not their desired location to bear their first child but they made the most of the location.  Location trips a lot of people up on Christmas. Many have no choice. They will spend Christmas in the nursing home or jail….
