In this Eighth Episode of the Thoughts from the Glen podcast, I reflect on local Christmas atmospheres that I experienced in Oklahoma, Colorado, Michigan, and Indiana, as well as on the various family traditions and ceremonies that we incorporated into our Christmas celebrations over the years. In addition, I consider why Christmas doesn't always feel like enough, or meaningful enough to satisfy our desire for something deeper. If you've got some traveling to do over this weekend, or you just have some downtime in your holiday schedule, I'd be honored if you'd share in my reflections on this important season. Merry Christmas!!!
