The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

I love this time of year. I am sure, that in more than one of my posts in the coming weeks, I will express just how much I love Christmas and the celebration of the beginning of a new year. This truly is, the most wonderful time of the year.

 

I Believe In Santa Claus

I particularly enjoy the giving of gifts that is so closely associated with this time of year. I like to think of things that will brighten the faces of my children or that will express my love for my beautiful wife. I love thinking of my clients and friends and considering their individual needs and then coming up with something that will demonstrate that I see them and that I know them. 

I don't mind that our society now sees Christmas more as an opportunity to stimulate the economy than as a Holy Day. I am not bothered by Black Friday and Cyber Monday, because I understand the root of the message. I know that even though many have forgotten; Christmas is about the ultimate gift that we were all given by a loving God. I realize that for some, this message is one sided, but for me, this great gift is offered to everyone. Even the story of Santa is a symbol of this great truth. Santa seeks to fulfill our hopes and dreams with no thought of receiving anything in return. 

Even if you are unable to connect with the message of the ultimate gift, I hope that you will allow yourself to connect to a truth that transcends all religions: It is better to give than receive. 

The New Me

I love the new year, because it gives me an opportunity to dream about the future me. I love thinking about the goals and aspirations that will birth the new me. The new year is a time to thank and appreciate the old me and then to say goodbye to that previous me.

I love the feeling that I am free to invent a new and more excellent me. I am not a static being. I am a dynamic being full of hope and potential. I love to think about what I may become. I love to engage in dreaming about meeting the future me. 

If Every Day Could Be Just Like Christmas

Elvis sings a great Christmas song titled, If Every Day Could Be Just Like Christmas. Of course, the message of the song is that if we could live that way, it would be a wonderful world. Long live the King!

What does Christmas mean to you?

How do you remember it?

What do you want for yourself in the New Year?

How much thought do you put into making and keeping your resolutions?

My desires for you at this time of year are pure and sincere. I wish for you to hear a message of hope. Please do not hear a message of conversion or judgment. I am simply sharing with you, one of my most beautiful beliefs. Please receive it in the spirit of love, in which it is expressed.

Live Today! Love Today!
