‘Tis the reason…’Tis Christmas time again, the season of renewal, love, faith, charity. All that is beautiful chimes greatly into every heart, beating in celebrations of Spirit, togetherness, and affirmation. Christmas is the most widely celebrated festival the world over and is also the most popular. When we see the stocking full of gifts and candies, or the familiar coniferous green trees being decorated with tinsels and stars, and gingerbread and fruits, or houses being decorated with holly twigs and mistletoes, we know Christmas has come.
‘Tis that time of the year again: jingles, laughter, parties and celebration. To wish someone dear and close, or miss someone the heart yearns for. To remember the good old times, the fun we had. Its that time of the year again.
‘Tis that time when favorite memories of our family come to life, and all the best ones we’ve ever had are rekindled . . . a time for the wonderful traditions they taught us and which we keep from year to year, adding to each holiday to make it’s meaning clear.
‘Tis that time of the year again, when we dance, sing and party, and put the best decorations on the tree. ‘Tis that time of the year again, when Santa rules everyone’s thoughts, and yours and mine.
‘Tis that time when many people crowd everywhere, rushing, and pushing, and shoving, and going nowhere. We go racing madly mall-to-mall, shopping, cooking, clearing walks and yards, trimming house and tree while working, too. Making phone calls, wrapping, writing cards, and all worn out we do what we must do in order to make this day a most perfect and fulfilling one.
Have to get all those things done hustle, bustle, quickly, we must beat the sun. Must get this and must get that, maybe this knick, maybe that knack. When did it happen? When did we lose track. It’s a race, yes it is, we are running, yes we are, but let’s not forget before we get too far- What is really important doesn’t take much to figure out. Take time to love and love from the heart.
