Okay -- It's that time. I am tearing up watching tv commercials. Traditional holiday songs bring me to the brink of tears, and commercials with "the music" push me over the edge. I am, once again, avoiding the Hallmark Channel out of necessity. It must be almost Christmas.
People who have been around for a while may agree that any holiday season is bittersweet. Each holiday offers a lifetime of memories – memories of good times, of hopes and dreams and also, as time passes, of loss. Perhaps that is why the joy of a child is always something to cherish -- especially now in the week before Christmas. There is something amazing about being able to manage even a momentary glimpse of the world through a child’s eyes – moments of pure joy, innocence and wonder. Wish there were a way to hang on to that ... and yet ... perhaps there is. Perhaps it is through creating the best holiday one can for those close to you -- whether they are near or far away -- moments to enjoy the comfort of security of family and friends, and of the peace of unconditional love. Perhaps it is in the creation of memories they will cherish when they, too, have been around for a while.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday with lots of good memories of old times and ... with the creation of lots of new good memories as well.
