This week is taking its sweet time.
I guess I shouldn’t complain, Christmas is a week away. I’ve missed the hustle and bustle because I’ve stayed out of the stores.
The weather does not say Christmas.
Seeing people out and about with scarves, heavy coats and gloves seem to be a sure sign that the holidays have arrived.
That’s not happening.
I don’t listen to the radio when I drive, so I haven’t heard Jingle Bells or more importantly, the BC Clark Christmas Jingle.
If it weren’t for the frost on my windows in the morning it could be September.
The tell tale signs of the holidays, to remind you of the past and what is to come.
People do seem a little more cheerful.
Parties are happening, gatherings of friends.
Gifts, which let me say are not important. Not the physical item.
Could be bound blank paper to capture your thoughts or the most exquisite diamond.
The real gift is the thought behind it.
Someone thought of you.
Took the time to choose something they hoped every time you saw it reminded you that they think of you.
The best gift is to be remembered.
That doesn’t come in shiny paper with a big bow.
It comes from the heart.
Treat every day like Christmas.
Remind people they are important and have meaning in your life.
Give them the gift they can hold tight and take everywhere.
Many blessings to you and yours.
Hugs my friends!
