Homily

Four or five years ago the neighbor behind me moved out and someone new moved in during the Fall. At Christmas time, as is my habit, I was taking sweets around to my neighbors and I stopped, for the first time, at this house. Two children answered the door with the dad close behind: a boy about 3 years old, and a girl, maybe 5 years old. I said “Merry Christmas” and introduced myself and offered my gifts. There was a tree in the living room, decorated, and the house had outside lights. So I asked the children, do you think that Santa will be able to find you in your new house?
