Christmas comes but once a year. We wish more,
but if Christmas came every single day,
it would no longer be Christmas at all.
–
Sometimes kids imagine hearing sleighbells,
yet adults know the old familiar songs,
recall the birth of family members,
enjoy the gleeful shouts of dazed children….
–
Let Christos, the Anointed One, arrive
in our hearts, mind, and daily actions
at least for a week, two, or three, a month,
so that joy and generosity reigns
as a gift to everyone we might know!
–
Make peace with any with whom you have disagreed.
There may be more to joy than we can ever know….
