Favorite Christmas Memories
December 19, 2019
By Caleb Scoville, LPC
A cherished event for me is attending the Christmas Eve Service at my hometown Church with my family. I grew up attending a small-town Lutheran Church in Western OK. I am being honest when I say half the church are relatives of mine.
The Christmas eve candlelight service is special to me of course because the true meaning of this time of year, but also the gathering of family and friends that takes place for many during the Christmas season.
I enjoy catching up at church with people that have known me all of my life as well as the relatives I may have not seen in years. My favorite part of the Christmas Eve service, however, is when we turn down the lights to sing Silent Night by candlelight. Hearing the voices sing in unison about our Savior’s birth has moved me as long as I can remember. Even when I was at the age(s) when I had peaked at my presents and was in a rush to get home to them, my focus, during silent night always seemed to center on only those poignant moments.
I realize how blessed I am to have the hustle and bustle of the Family Christmases I attend each year. Yet, the one thing that consistently moves me are the quiet moments when its dark, yet the light of the world is always there to remind us all “I did this for you.”
