Where would life be without Christmas, memories of past experiences, family, traditions, stockings, and presents. The things we take for granted at Christmas, remind us as we get older - how precious those moments are in life. We wake up and realize yesterday is gone, traditions are forgotten, family has moved away or is no longer with us and we ache for those memories of the past.
The joy of a child on Christmas morning as they hurry to see what Santa has left. Stockings overflowing with fun items, candy & fruit, packages under the tree, and on the couch or beside it, the real Santa gift. As we grow older, the things we expect soon make us realize the Christmas joy we once felt is truly meant for those that are kids and/or kids at heart.
Don't lose the joy, the fun in giving, the thought in planning, and the true meaning of Christmas. Spend it with friends and family and never take it for granted. Merry Christmas to all.
