Rescuing Hope and Love

I've watched several Christmas movies this weekend in multi-task mode.  Watch movie and clean. Watch movie and bake. Watch movie and wrap presents. 

All Christmas movies seem to be the same movie: someone who is embittered catches the magic of Christmas and rekindles hope and love.  Some would say it is sappy.  It maybe, but isn't rescuing hope and love what Christmas is about?  Aren't hope and love the light in the darkness?  Whatever our faith tradition, the darkest time of the year seems an appropriate time to look in our hearts, and wherever hope has been tarnished, rescue hope and love.
