It's time to stop for a moment and capture the magic. Walk among the brightly lit trees. Sit by the fire and read a favorite bedtime story to the little ones who can't quite seem to go to sleep this Christmas Eve. Share a cup of tea, a cookie, a hug with someone you love.
Christmas is a commemoration of the beginning of a great gift - that of a life sacrificed for the sake of all humankind. All. Humankind.
They are here and you are here, with the opportunity to connect. You can set aside differences, irritations, squabbles, stressors - and capture the magic. You don't have to wait to be the recipient. You can be the giver, and make the magic yourself.
Christmas is more than the lights, more than the foods, the gifts, the scurry, the expectations. It's about the magic of the unexpected - and centuries ago the unbelievably fragile appearance of a profoundly powerful being who changed the world for people everywhere.
Whether you think you're finally done with the chores or not - Listen. Sing. Laugh. Give. Be. Merry, Merry Christmas.
