Merry Christmas

19Dec07

Christmas is supposed be a season of giving and sharing.   A season of gratitude and caring.  Instead we turn it to a time of stress and frustration.  We use it as a reason for our bitching and irritation.  Bell ringers wish a Merry Christmas on the way to and fro.  Streets filled with shoppers all in a row.  All over we see the Christmas flags.  The hustle and bustle, … malls filled, with people and bags.  But, at every crossing there are flying fingers and swearing galore.  Our fellow man is constantly bitched out in every store.  Children look to Christmas with glee.  Parents overwhelmed want nothing but to flee.  People laughing ingest Christmas cheer.  Suicide rates climb higher than the rest of the year.  Pressure and tension replace smiles and joy.  Scolding and warnings for every little girl and boy.  What happened to the sugar plums dancing in our heads?  Snuggling and dreaming fast in our beds?  Where did the Christmas joy go?  Does anyone care, … does anyone know?  What the hell is wrong with all of these people?  Get to the Christmas programs and every steeple!  Instead of using Christmas to complain and groan.  Go and make sure someone is not left alone!  The day will come and the day will go.  Smile and enjoy the people you know.  Don’t start out you days with a grumble and grouse.  Use each day to see the joy in every house.  Even, if Christmas is not part of your devotion.  The meaning and message still carry great emotion.  If we looked at life different every other day.  Maybe people wouldn’t treat it and others this way.  Use the season to start out a new year.  Start up your life with more meaning and cheer. Merry Christmas to all ……
