During Advent this year we cannot bypass the 'rough around the edges' character of John the Baptist as he stands in the path leading to Christmas. While so much of our holiday preparations are geared towards giving people what they like, John the Baptist proclaims a Messiah who will not fit into any of our beautifully wrapped gift boxes. Jesus is the gift no one knows how to ask for, the gift no one expects - the gift that is so different from the one we have in mind that many of us will not recognize Him when He comes.
