There aren't enough words to express the joy and happiness I wish all of you in this wonderful Season. I was thinking the other day of what a world this might be if there were no such Holy Day, or Holiday, as Christmas and equivalent celebrations in other faiths and cultures. A very sad state of affairs that would be! No Scrooge's could be turned around to see the blessed side of the world, no seasonal greetings would be exchanged across battle lines, no outpouring of universal love and hope, no promises of tomorrow... Too sad to contemplate, and too bleak to create a piece of writing about...
However, we do have Christmas, we do have the hope and promise of a New Year coming up, and we do have joy and peace in our hearts at this time of year. Isn't it a pity we can't make Christmas a prevailing attitude?

My young boys love this so much, and as soon as Santa approaches North America on Christmas Eve, they're off to bed! Thank God, Santa, and NORAD for that, so Mom can be finished all the Mom stuff before midnight and doesn't get caught by the Jolly Old Man himself! I was only joking with Rusty earlier when I said he's already caught me under the mistletoe a few times...
Well, my two minute rest break is over, back to doing the stuff!
Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season no matter how you celebrate!
Love and Big Hugs,
Alice
