Ever stop to analyze why Christmas is such a special season? No matter what your belief, there is a spirit in the air, a lightness in people's heart, and excitement. If only we took the time to contemplate what spawns such a spirit, maybe we could extend it a little longer, a few more weeks, a few months, even throughout the year.
I suspect that a great deal of the joy created at this time of year comes from our sense of oneness. Somehow, we manage to think of others more, and in so doing, we find that we are bound together more than we realize.
Perhaps that spirit, one of ties and family, come because during the season of Christmas we are more willing to let go, in order to celebrate. Filled with the spirit of Christmas, we tend to be more generous, more forgiving, and kinder.
Who wouldn't want that spirit to continue?
Who wouldn't want a world at greater peace?
I believe it can and will continue throughout the year when we have made the child more than a seasonal celebration, when we know the child, the Divine Child, not on a friendly basis, but with a deep abiding love.
Then we will not wait for Christmas to speak to him again. We will do it on a daily basis.
And we will live with a spirit of Christmas in our hearts and souls.
Merry Christmas!
