It’s Christmas morning and the presents are already unwrapped.
The cookies for Santa are gone, the new toys are already in play and the waffles made by Mad Dog already eaten.
Things start early on Christmas day when your kids are young.
We had some new traditions and kept some old.
T.Puzzle announced that ‘Jinker Bells’ was his favorite holiday song.
Full Speed summed up his Christmas Eve experience at church as ‘good AND boring’. It was good because he made a lot of new friends and it was boring because he had to keep ‘standing up the WHOLE time!’
For the introspective lot such as myself, it is a time of reflection.
Some of it sad, like missing loved ones you’d like to have near and most of it glad because of the loved ones you do have with you on this special day.
Life is like a Christmas tree.
Compared to others it may not be the tallest or the brightest. It may not have the most presents or look exactly the way you want it.
If you embrace it for exactly what it is and appreciate how special it is because it is the only one you have, then maybe, just maybe you will realize that you have the tree and the life you were meant to have.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
