December has a way of filling up with everything except the thing it is about. That is not cynicism, it is just arithmetic. There is a finite amount of month and an infinite amount of list, and the list is louder.
The Reason For The Season is a small correction to that. John 1:14 is the verse where the whole story turns, the moment the distant becomes close enough to touch, and it is worth having somewhere you will actually see it during the weeks when everything else is competing for your attention.
It is a short line to keep in your hand, and that is the point of it. Nobody stops to read a paragraph in the middle of December. You catch four words at a stoplight and the day goes back into order for a minute, which is most of what anybody needs.
A piece about the quiet center of Christmas should not be shouting, and most people who wear this one are not trying to make a statement to anybody else. They are trying to keep a thread in their hand during a month that pulls hard in every direction, and a thing on your wrist is very good at that particular job.
