On Christmas Eve, as it always had before the year that changed everything, the hymn began with a flicker in the dark.
The faithful breathed together, one body in the darkened center of the church, as they transferred a single flame from the tip of one white taper candle to the next. They passed it from choir members to grandparents, to parents, to children, to friends, to neighbors, to anyone who had made their way to this place, on this night, to celebrate the long-ago birth of a baby in a manger.

Like most people, nostalgic or not, I like Christmas music. There are few things I enjoy more than sitting in my writing space on a wintry December night, a cup of steaming coffee nearby, a comforting Christmas classic playing in the background, the glimmer of colored lights at the eaves.
