"On Christmas Eve, as we prepare for the culminating mystery of Advent, we pause and notice that a certain calm settles upon us after the crush of getting ready for Christmas Day. This seems impossible given the frenzy of the holiday season and yet there is that moment of quiet certainty that something momentous, something miraculous, however improbable, is about to occur."
