Summary: Our SOF First Person series continues with Benedictine nun and author Joan Chittister. She's been thinking and writing about Christmas, the prism through which economic crisis is coming home uncomfortably to many of us right now. The gold, frankincense, and myrrh of the kingly biblical gift-givers, she's learned, are not displays of wealth but of blessings of character -- generosity, serenity, and spirit. And her vow of stability takes on new meaning in tumultuous times.
