It is the most wonderful time of the year, and yet for many, Christmas has become just another thing to check off their To-Do list. And with the extreme commercialism of the holiday, some are left mimicking Mr. Scrooge’s “bah humbug!”
But have we really forgotten the extraordinary magic of Christmas, or do we just crave a fresh perspective! If we look past the frantic search for the perfect present or the stressful planning of an impeccable dinner, we can peek at the opportunities the season offers us.
Rather than becoming lost in all the hustle and bustle, what if we chose to engage in random acts of kindness this year! Truly, it is the simple things in life that really count. Can you picture yourself opening the door for another? Or perhaps Paying It Forward by purchasing a cup of coffee for the next customer? How about striking up a lighthearted conversation while in a long line at the grocery store? It doesn’t have to cost much or anything at all! Even offering a cheerful smile can brighten up someone’s day!
The holidays gift us with moments to connect with others in joy. Offering a little kindness and consideration to others restores a sense of peace and hope in our corner of the world. And through all the giving and sharing of ourselves, we discover we are the ones who have been so richly blessed! So, let us remember, just as the Grinch finally realized that “Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!”
Blessings to all of you this holiday season!
