It's something about this time of the year that gets you thinking...about everything. About those you love, changes that have happened throughout the year, things you want to accomplish in the new year, and for some thinking about their faith. I know that the true meaning of Christmas was lost loooong ago, sad to say for some but the businesses that are able to finish their year off in the black.
My boyfriend is one of those people that hates celebrating holidays that have become as he calls them Hallmark holidays...meaning that they are only celebrated so that Hallmark and other stores have an excuse to sell a product to the poor saps that buy anything because it's a "holiday". This is why we do not celebrate Valentine's Day, and I have to actually go out an get cards to for Mother's/Father's Days. I agree with him to a point but I also like the fact that we have that day to celebrate all that our parents do for us. There is a website that cracks me up www.holidayinsights.com it lists events and holidays for everyday of the year. November is listed as being National Peanut Butter Month?? Really a food needs to be celebrated nationally?
I digress. The point I wanted to make is that this is the time of reflection on what has happened and the plans for the future that is so closely upon us. Cherish your loved ones, tell them you love them as often as possible, work on being the person that you want to be everyday instead of a certain time of the year. I know that's easier said then done, but if you start now the more likely it is to catch on...well maybe it gets pretty hectic with the holidays. I am trying to think about it everyday at least once, I send out my love to all that I love even if it just a thought, my thought is that they sense it and get that warm fuzzy feeling, even just for a moment.
Happy Holidays to you and yours! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
