“It is for those who long to be re-enchanted by the very old, very true, very beautiful story of Christmas. It is for someone who might never have experienced a truly sacramental holiday in their own homes --and by sacramental I mean quite simply a holiday which articulates unseen realities in practical, tangible ways. It is for the weary, the homesick, the wistful, and the countercultural. It is, above all for the childlike, for it is only to such hearts that the greatest mysteries are unveiled.”

“..as in all housework, there is something inherently redemptive in the process, and therefore something truly good. To rend usefulness and order from the soiled and dejected is always a holy work, howsoever trivial it might seem on the surface. But we do not live in the surface of things, not really, no matter how we might skim along the glassy crust above the deeper meaning of our days. The place where we really live, where the humblest things serve the highest ends and the most menial tasks are quickened by love, is down amid the unseen ordinary where sacred significance thrums through the practicalities of daily life.”
