Merriam-Webster defines insomnia as “prolonged and usually abnormal inability to obtain adequate sleep.” Wikipedia says it’s “characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep despite the opportunity.”
Frankly, I believe those both to be quite true. This week has been filled with far too many low-sleep nights. I’m sure it’s a combination of things, all of which include stress to some extent, but I sure hope it ends soon…
On a side note, I really love my nativity. I love what it represents, the most precious Gift of all time, and I love the sentiment my own carries. My dad made our nativity ’setting’ out of scraps from the yard at home, fashioned after one that I grew up with. Each year I get another piece or two to add to the display, and I can’t say enough how much I love this part of Christmas. I love re-reading the real Christmas story out of Luke 1-2, and I love celebrating Jesus’ birth! While shopping for that perfect gift or landing an amazing bargain can be fun, I never want to lose sight of Jesus.
