Description: Gretchen Passantino describes a Christian way to celebrate the Santa Claus tradition.
Copyright 1986 by Gretchen Passantino. An earlier version of this appeared in Discipleship Journal, Issue 36. Colorado Springs, CO: The Navigators, 1986, pp. 44-46. Musty pine smell, glittering balls, and smooth, softly faded creche figures: Christmas packed in an old yellow trunk at the back of the children's closet. Outside the sun is bright, the children's voices are raised in a boisterous game of tag through the lawn sprinklers. But just smelling the pine and gently fingering the familiar plaster figure of the Christ Child awakens a sense of awe and anticipation for another season of special praise in honor of the birth of my Lord.
