The spirit of Christmas speaks of joy, goodwill, generosity, love. It was the calling card of the season that made December a different month. A kinder , gentler, loving month. But now we're too busy. Many are too busy doing for others that they don't even know why they are doing. Do we really just like to keep busy. Some live with stress so much they don't know how to let go and relax. Christmas events happen the end of November , a whole month away. By the time December 25th comes people are all tired out and just want to get the holiday over.
That's not the Christmas spirit. There is beauty in celebrating Christmas in a relax manner . Allowing yourself to breath in the wonder aroma of cinnamon, and spices, pine and balsam.
Allowing yourself to see the lights and marvel at how they decorate the darkness all around.
Allowing yourself to reflect upon the love of the first Christmas and receive it into your heart if not in your home. The peace you feel in the Christmas spirit is sustaining, up lifting and hopeful.
The reason for the season is Jesus being born. Without this event there would be no Christmas. It is a time to reflect on God's love and seek to know that love in your heart.
Perhaps you don't go to church, well go and find the Christmas spirit.
