These days, it seems there just isn’t enough time, which is why I embrace every moment with family and friends especially during the Holidays. Fond childhood memories spark nostalgic feelings of how simple life was as a child, reminiscent of how magical Christmas was. My family and I take great pleasure in sharing those childhood stories and memorable events of Christmas past.
As the years pass and those special memories fade, we tend to lose the spirit of Christmas along the way. Fortunately, each and every one of us has that spirit. It’s just a matter of opening-up our hearts, sharing, and helping one another that will spark our spirits. The Christmas spirit is what gives us that warm feeling we get when we’re surrounded by those who we love and love us the most, enjoying each other’s company; a feeling of absolute joy and blissful happiness. A feeling I hope you’re able to experience and share with your family and friends during the Holidays.
As a youngster, I can remember wanting certain toys and hoping to get them. Sometimes I did and many times I didn’t! But, that was okay because I learned through the years that it’s far more rewarding to give than it is to receive. The pleasure of kindness in giving is gratifying and can be exhilarating. Christmas is a time of giving, sharing, and helping others. It’s the time of the year that brings out the best in people; the best in humanity.
So, am I ready for Christmas? You betcha! I will be with family and friends, enjoying every moment, and I wish the same for all. Spend as much time as possible with loved ones and help one another, especially during the Holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
