The Kingdom of God is Like Christmas

I believe that the kingdom of God is like a fresh-cut evergreen tree hung with baubles and lights, like eggnog and hot cocoa, like waking up to stockings stuffed full, like carols at church, like the smell of ginger and orange and cinnamon and almond and clove, like a dog in deep snow, like a single star that lights up the night, like new pajamas, like the candles of an Advent wreath, like heaps of presents, like a winter fire, like mistletoe and holly, like seeing Santa at the market downtown, like the crèche on the mantle, like garland on the lamppost, like red-kettle bellringing, like sledding with children, like candy canes, like magic.
