Christmas 2013
It is Christmas eve eve. I momentarily got a little frantic as I realized how unprepared I am for Christmas this year.
Stepping back from the shopping, baking, cards, visits and other activities of the season, I settled into ‘I don’t have to….’ I don’t have to let my type ‘A’ energy hook up to the onslaught of commercialism that pounds on the door of my Christmas consciousness. I have choices.
I played Christmas music and baked with enjoyment. I eschewed the shopping hordes. What I have done is what I have done. With the aroma of cookies filling the house and the Hallelujah chorus making me tingle, I wrapped a few gifts, made a few calls and relaxed into the moment.
Our tree is beautiful, our neighborhood festive. I look forward to enjoying family and friends and especially the unconditional love of the Spirit of Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all!!
