And, it's the spirit of giving reminding us of the gifts of the wise men. As important, it calls to mind the hope for peace among all men and women regardless of faith for, if Christ was anything, He was the Prince of Peace.
Santa and shopping and parties and extravagence may be fun. And, they are.
But it's the quiet peace and the spirit of love that makes Christmas truly special.

Christmas is remembering the ones we love or may not even know that are fighting abroad so we may sit peacefully in each others company in the glow of our tree while we sip eggnog or champangne.
Christmas I associate with WORK preceeding it and relaxation after it.
Christmas morning with our kids still running onto our bed and cuddling with us for a bit...................... even that they are now 24 & 21!!!!
Have a Merry Christmas all you Pixies!!!   |
