Why, this is Christmas Day!

I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day.  We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year.  As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year.  And thus I drift along into the holidays – let them overtake me unexpectedly – waking up some find morning and suddenly saying to myself:  “Why, this is Christmas Day!” ~David Grayson

Yes, that is precisely how I see Christmas.

It is Another Day…

  • to extend kindness
  • to pursue peace
  • to open our hearts and our pocketbooks to those in need
  • to be thankful for the good things and good people in our lives, and
  • to celebrate who HE is.

    That’s a great quote! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Stephanie!

  2. It should just be yet another day that we are all kind, but I am thankful that, at the very least, the days leading up to Christmas usually bring out the kindness and compassion in most every one.

    I think that is a true testimonial to who Jesus is… that his birth inspires peace and love and kindness.

    I hope you and yours had a beautiful day together. Many blessings, Me! ;)
