Thanks Amy!
I am a UK based Baptist minister, who often struggles with the too common Protestant devaluing of the flesh, even as we celebrate God Incarnate. It has pleased my heart immensely to hear someone else articulate what I often feel - that God has made the world good and we ignore the blessings we receive daily through our senses. 
What a telling and timely reminder.
Joy, peace and sensory delight to you this Christmas,
Sarah
