We’ve gifted our Oxfam goats or geese and bought our CWS calendars, and what we’d like, on Christmas Day, what we really want, is for things to be—perfect. Just like the old days. Something new, but also something familiar.And that’s what’s so wonderful about the Christmas story, and why preachers penning their reflections approach with trepidation but also with joy: at Christmas, the news is all good.","author":"Bronwyn Angela White","tags":["christmas","familiar","joy","new"],"id":26420,"author_id":"Bronwyn+Angela+White"},{"text":"People easily become familiar with what you teach them practically than what you tell them verbally.

Whether or not you were aware that there was something missing in your life, you will be when you meet the person you want. What psychoanalysis will add to this love story is that the person you fall in love with really is the man or woman of your dreams; that you have dreamed them up before you met them; not out of nothing — nothing comes of nothing — but out of prior experience, both real and wished for. You recognize them with such certainty because you already, in a certain sense, know them; and because you have quite literally been expecting them, you feel as though you have known them for ever, and yet, at the same time, they are quite foreign to you. They are familiar foreign bodies.","author":"Adam Phillips","tags":["desire","dream","familiar","love"],"id":62153,"author_id":"Adam+Phillips"},{"text":"Although it pains me to admit it, I am quite familiar with the holes in life.
