Love that song - actually I love all Christmas songs. Christmas in general may be one of my most favorite times of the year. I'm heading "home" for the holiday - one final family-filled weekend before my flight. I remember London at Christmas time, 8 years ago...Picadilly was lit up with huge white snowflakes hanging off of lampposts and strung across the middle of streets. It was quite a sight. The shops were so busy, and Harrod's - all 7 floors of Harrod's - was completely decked out. Quite definitely putting Macy's and their 8th floor display to shame (although this year's viewing of Macy's was spectacular, as was the Holidazzle Parade and the whole Christmas in the Cities evening!).
I think that there's something magical that happens to people around the holidays...it's like their inner spirit softens, their perspective widens, and their heart expands. I love that people become more generous - with themselves and with others, remember to be thankful, and celebrate the festivities regardless of age. I think that at Christmas time, unlike other moments throughout the year, we are given opportunities to find our grace. This Christmas, may you see yourself as truly blessed - I certainly do.
