Christmas

"Christmas--that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance--a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved."
Augusta E. Rundell

Merry Christmas...
Christmas is a very special holiday. We all have such fond memories of the Christmas's we had as children. It was always such a delightful mystery how you could hang up your stocking on Christmas Eve and it would be filled with goodies on Christmas morning. We couldn't wait to see what Santa had brought us. We loved decorating the Christmas tree and then watching the pile of presents under the tree grow bigger and bigger. Christmas really does weave a spell of nostalgia. Just the idea of Christmas makes us feel more loved and connected.

Christmas is a day of remembering all the things we have loved. It is a day of appreciating family and friends. It is even a day of reaching out to those unfortunate people who have neither, or who don't have the money to buy each other gifts or make a nice Christmas dinner.

We all have our own traditions or ways of celebrating Christmas, which helps to bring some continuity to our lives in a changing world. Even people who don't celebrate Christmas celebrate something else at this time. We all need a holiday in the middle of winter. We need this day of remembering all the things we love. We need that magic blanket to wrap around ourselves, and smell the perfume of Christmas love.
