For some reason I couldn't bring myself to follow the pattern today. In light of all the national news lately, I wanted to avoid a return to reality as long as possible. I wanted to hang onto the spirit of Christmas a little bit longer. People are typically kinder to one another this time of year. They're quicker to smile, offer a greeting, and generally just be happy. Call me crazy for wanting to wrap that up somehow.
So today, as the snow continued to fall outside the window..... instead of un - decorating, I put Christmas on Pandora and enjoyed the season a little bit longer...
I want to laugh over my silly snowmen and have the only light in the house come from Christmas lights.
I want to enjoy my stack of Christmas cards from family and friends, near and far.
I want to delight in my Christmas stars for one day more.................
and stay close to the ones I love. Here's hoping we all have more time.......
Christmas Day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to clasp.
Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we........
So long as we have hands to clasp.
Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we........
