This Christmas feels different. Unlike any before.   We can’t wait for it to arrive, yet at the same time, we’re not even sure what to expect. Our world has been in chaos and, for many people, that’s been a nightmare. Perhaps for too long, we’ve sanitized Christmas with beautiful decorations, nativity figures, and houses trimmed in lights while missing the chaotic events that happened to real people around Jesus’s birth. The Messiah brought “hope” in the middle of real people’s chaos.   When we least expect it, 

hope comes in the strangest ways.
