Keep Christmas With You
Jan 16th 2013greenbucksMe
Advent is over. The giving of gifts over and done with (except for some). The tree is back in its box. The festive curtains and throw pillows, table covers have been washed and folded.
The real challenge after the Christmas season is to continue the good that you did during the Christmas season:
- Will you still be generous?
- Will you still have joy in your heart?
- Will you still easily forgive others?
- Will you still be patient?
- Will you still feel the love you seasonally feel for others?
- Will you still go to church?
I remember one of my favorite Christmas songs, “When Christmas time is over and presents are away, don’t be sad. There’ll be so much to treasure about this Christmas time and the fun we’ve had… Keep Christmas with you all through the year”
I know there are those who don’t feel ok about not getting the correct patagonia capilene, THAT particular gadget, or maybe a certain shoe brand. These bring happy memories, yes, but what is important is that you are loved and you love back.
For me, it is more important remember the feelings and lovely memories and not the gifts.
