The time has come.
The wreath has been hung on the front door springing a cheerful ‘hello’ to all
that enter. The lights hang lazily from the eaves. The perfect tree has been plucked
from its spot.
Cards have been sent
from near to far wishing all a joyous holiday. Christmas songs have filled
cars, offices, and houses for a month or more. All declare a wonderful season
filled with merry times.
Decorations of all
sorts have come out of their hiding places to make their way onto the tree,
table, doorways, or stairs.
Presents have been
wrapped and placed under the tree, or in their hiding places until the perfect
time. Ribbons have adorned packages of all shapes and sizes making them look
even more tempting to young eyes.
The baking is done. The
candy, cookies, and fudge are arranged on a beautiful platter, enticing fingers
to reach in and give a try. The pies and cakes sit aplenty on the counter
hoping to please each that taste.
Families travel to
meet and enjoy each other’s company. They exchange words, love, and gifts from
the heart. They rejoice.
Candles are lit to
soften the mood. To offer peace. Peace. In a world that needs it more now than
ever. Peace.
I hope you enjoy all you do this holiday
season. Cherish the time with your family. Remember those that can’t be with
us. Bow our heads for those who are less fortunate, or suffering through difficult times.
Happy Hanukkah and
Kwanzaa.
And…
Merry Christmas to
all!
From our house to yours, we wish you a happy and safe holiday season.
I ♥
you all.
