Holiday season
|
Holiday season So finally I get into the holiday season. I went and played Santa. So I bought some gifts and went to a Christmas show. The lights were nice. Hearing the Merry Christmas was good. But what really did it was two things. Watching the really young 's faces looking at the lights. The second was when music came on, all the started to sing with the songs. Not just sing a little but sing really loud and with spirit. With sales starting earlier and the message louder every year to buy more I thought Christmas was lost. After this weekend I am not sure. Maybe the spirit of the Holiday is stronger that I thought. Maybe understand it better than us adults do. I think back to one year when my exclaimed after opening each and every gift, "its just what I wanted!". As Adults we reason everything. I think perhaps the season should remind us that sometimes we need to think with our heart and feelings than with our heads. I am not suggesting we chuck our roles as adults. Just remember our time as . Can you still be amazed at lights? There just may be hope. |

I like the look on children's faces this time of year. When the kids were small we would drive around for hours just to see the Christmas lights. I loved hearing their comments from the back seat. And nothing is better than Christmas morning when they are wide eyed at all the gifts under the tree. It's true, they were spoiled, but I don't care. These are memories that will (hopefully) never leave me. As they have grown older the wonder of the season has left them, for now. When they have their own kids it will all come back to them as it has for me

agreed! That is why we try to follow the wiccan line of thought for christmas. You are only suppose to give one gift (per person) so it forces you to put a little thought into.
