I love Christmas – it is my favorite time of the year! In fact, I always get a little melancholy when it seems to stop so
abruptly! I relish the time spent with family, all the baking and candy making, Christmas carols (see previous blog entry), decorating, etc. I love lighting the Christmas tree in the early hours of the morning when the house is still asleep and all the world is hushed by the silence of the moon; sipping my morning coffee . . . gazing at the tree and watching the twinkling lights reflect the character of each and every ornament brings about a tranquility that sooths my soul. One
of my favorite things about Christmas is unpacking the boxes and boxes of decorations. It seems like each one comes with its own memory and reason why it’s special – perhaps it reminds me of a special time, a loved one, or both! To me, all of these “treasures”are a large part of why Christmas is my favorite time of the year.
I have a little plaque on my kitchen shelf that says “All hearts come home for Christmas”. “Home”. Home isn’t necessarily a physical place – it is a place that dwells inside our hearts. A place where we are loved unconditionally and surrounded by warmth and fond memories. A place where everything is familiar and we can let our hair down and be
ourselves. We wish you a very merry Christmas and may you hold the magic and peacefulness of Christmas and its
many blessings in your heart throughout the new year!
