Yes, I know that Christmas is almost a full month away, but I still can't wait. There is a little leap of joy in my heart every time I look at the crappy little tree in my living room. The multi-colored prisms which dance upon the walls remind me of happier times years ago. Each time I gaze upon them I can see a bit of the potential hope which lies in the next day; I go to bed longing desperately for it.
How much "Christ" is there in Christmas these days? I believe there's more than what people might think. One of the points of Christmas, at least I believe, is that we have the opportunity to show others the breadth of love and compassion which lies in each human heart. Isn't that what Christ taught? The only flaw with the idea is that we seem to put away that important lesson when we put away the lights. The celebration of Christmas should be 365 days a year -- not 30.
I send out a note of love to all of those people who have been an important part of my life in the last year. Better yet, I send out that same note of love to all of you who have been a complete pain in my ass during the last year! So..to everyone, have a happy holiday and love your neighbor as you would have them love you!
