Reflections at Christmas

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. When else can we bring out bright & shiny color, lights, bows and all that glows and decorate our homes and outdoors. The lights on people houses bring such joy. It shows that they care, and that they believe.

From Santa to snow ladies, we place each piece with care. It is a time to display things we have collected for years, and add a few new twist each year. It is a time for us to enjoy having people in our homes, lighting the candles and warming our hearts our conversations we share. Time to reflect on the past year, the mistakes, the successes... the thankfulness that we are here to enjoy our family and friends once again.

Remembering the reason for the season, the nativity scene that tells us of hope, never failing and always there....he celebration of life eternal.

Smiling faces in unusual places, people saying hello wherever they go. What a joyous time when strangers take a second to smile and say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Seasons Greetings to people they don't know. Just imagine if this feeling never ends,  each one of us taking a moment to let the season stay with us...let's begin.

Let's all light the yuletide candles, each one with care, making sure we say our own silent prayer. The New Year soon to begin, let's keep the spirit and hope of Christmas in our hearts... now...and why not then.

Merry Christmas and God Bless each and everyone.
