Every year people unpack Christmas.  They get the boxes down, they either excitedly or begrudgingly prepare for the season.  Zechariah was not sure he could believe the season was coming and was silenced until it arrived, as a way of inviting him to reflect on where God’s Spirit might be moving.  Elizabeth on the other hand simply prepared step by step and when Mary arrived, she was the first one to celebrate with her. Though each approached the season in different ways, each one was surprised by the gift that awaited them.  In this episode, we invite you to discover what surprises God may have packed away for you in this season of anticipation.
