Sigird Undset

I found in the writing of Sigrid Unset, the Nobel laureate of Norway, the best description of Christmas. We often try to utter complex meanings about the holiday to make it appear we are smarter than we really are. Humans believe if it sounds smart, then other humans will think they will be perceived as intelligent.

Every year I try to fathom the meaning of Christmas. I look forward to spending time with Nancy, my wife and the woman who understands me better than any person alive.
