"Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To
cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is
to have the real spirit of Christmas."
Calvin Coolidge
What one word would you choose to describe Christmas? Would you need one word for the sacred aspect, another for the social, and one other for the family reflection? Curious, would you choose from childhood or adulthood? Is the association with your past or the present? The word you pick, is it emotional, vibrational or colorful? Do you laugh when you say it or do tears run down your face?
In addition to the descriptive word for Christmas, what emotional attachment do you have with the season? Are there certain practices you have in December that are not recognized the rest of the year? Do you anxiously await the holiday or do you anxiously await its passing?
To be fair, I will choose kindness for my one word in describing Christmas. The depth of this word is rooted in every day of my life whether sacred or not. Kindness extends as a hope throughout my existence. Simple kindness is what I hope to bestow upon you and I so hope you will do the same.
