As trite as this might sound, it is true that every sacrifice we make, we are consoled a little in the fact that our effort has made someone else happy and, therefore, is an act of peacemaking. Sacrifice is not that dreadful Irish Catholic phenomenon of “offering it up” but rather, as the word means, “to make holy” an act or circumstance. We truly make Christmas holy when we can expend effort without counting the cost in the gift that keeps on giving and for which there can be no returns – the gift of loving sacrifice, if only just to get through another year!
