Ever have a crazy dream … wake up tired and hungry? That was the type night I had.
Think back … mmmm … a long time ago, as a youngster … this would have been the time our family would go into the woods and make a serious decision … select a Christmas tree … bring it home and begin making decorations. … Basic needs … white paper, scissors, crayons and glue.
Had concerns about how Santa could come down a chimney so small … but he never failed to make his presence known … he always left crumbs, after apparently sampling mom’s freshly baked cake or pie.
Today, small trees in the nearby woods are safe, very few if any cut their own tree anymore.
“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.” Charles Dickens
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection…
If you have no charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
