For many, Christmas is past and preparations are focused on celebrating the year to come. Not in our house as we are still in the midsts of the Christmas holiday. Christmas is not really over for us until January 6, the Day of the Kings, when the three Kings bearing gifts made their way to Bethlehem. Our travelers, clay figurines made in Guatemala, started their journey on Christmas Eve in the living room following the star over the nativity but have detoured from their direct path and instead have entered my office. They took refuge one evening with Gumby and his little sister, Minga. A long climb recently took them to Bullwinkle on top of my bookcases. But they have adjusted their trek and are making their way back toward the Christmas Tree and the nativity. The evening before they arrive, shoes are placed in front of our bedroom door awaiting yet another set of gifts. The Kings never disappoint.
