Christmas has always been a time of traditions, things we do every year to remeber the good times and fun times of seasons past. The anticipation of the first snow, the joy of hunting down that one special gift and wraping everything just so to bring smiles to the faces of friends and family. Seeing the excitement of the little ones faces when the Christmas buzz begins tends to make me feel young again too and share in that excitement.
Why is it that people try to throw tradition out the window as if it was merely a thought, something that took years to build upon, decades of excitement and joy discarded because things “seem” to hectic, busy or expensive. It doesn’t have to be that way it is what we make it. Smiles and gifts can be shared inexpensively, good times and memories can still be created with out all the hype, hurry and hustle.
Take time this Christmas to add to the traditions you’ve grown up with add to those traditions for generations to come and don’t whisk them away for something meaningless just because it’s faster, cheaper and takes less time to prepare.
We have but one chance to live this life, live it to it’s fullest, enjoy every moment, memory, and every ounce of Christmas magic from the past, present and future at all cost for tomorrow who knows where we’ll be.
I’m telling you frankly and I wish you the merriest of Christmas yet!
