The Accidental Country Pastor shares a Christmas Eve tradition out on the rail trail of her home in Vermont. May you listen attentively to the angels’ song in your life and may on this holy night you hear God’s whisper to you, “Christ is born. Emmanuel. God with you.”
Many blessings and a Merry Christmas!
Pastor Donna
(P.S. On the video I mention Frederick Buechner, who lives up the road from me in Vermont. Well, I guess I have Christmas “brain” for I shared a phrase with you that wasn’t quite right. Buechner once wrote about seeing with the eyes of the heart, not listening with the ears of the heart. I wanted to set the record straight. But whether you see or listen, the message is the same…be attentive and always ready to greet the newborn King into your lives…and I kind of like the ears with the heart, too. )
And here’s the wreath on the cows’ gate.

The rail trail is something I experienced while Postmaster in Vermont. My sweet friend Debbie would meet me at noon and we would walk it daily , weather permitted. I loved it! Thank you for reminding me of these great times..
