How can you resist the season of joy? I find myself being drawn in, every year, just a little bit earlier than the other. Pretty soon, I suspect, I will just be celebrating it all year, to the annoyance of many.

Admittedly, I love the Christmas season. It seems a little bit shinier; a little bit brighter than the rest of the year. The spirit of Christmas prompts people to do caring things for others. It’s that season of loving and giving – not just to those we love, our families and friends, but people seem to reach out to see what they can find. Stretch that arm out, to those who see nothing to rejoice in, or for those we know are in desperate circumstances. We create goodwill.

Focus. Focus. You know, - the true meanings of Thanksgiving in my heart and Christmas. For me, it's a good time to think about my spiritual, community and humanist values. How to make these times a meaningful and connecting event. There are people in the community that seem to be left out of it because of their family situation, illness or being a primary caregiver. Give a hand where you can.

So my wish, should it come true, would be to be Christmas, all year through. Celebrate. Each. Day. The sentiment, mixed with equal parts love and avgenerous spirit becomes my own inspiration to all whose lives I may touch, and, just so you know, the pleasure is always mine..

There were flowers, as always, to color your world. #alwaysaflower And just like that, this post is over! Come back tomorrow and we will do it again!
