The Spirit that Uplifts Your Soul
December 24, 2014 (Christmas Eve)-TCS # 430
Hello My Readers! I am sure that You are surprised to see me writing on Christmas Eve but, Hey! You got to be Dedicated to Your Fans. When I went over My Record of Newsletters, I couldn’t remember the last time in Recent Newsletters that I wrote on Christmas Eve. The Last Time I wrote on This Day was back in 2006 in The Beginning Stages of My Newsletter, so This, in a Way is My Christmas Gift to all My Loyal Newsletter Readers, at some point I will have to come up with a Name for My Newsletter Readers, TCSers, maybe? I think I will leave that one up to You, My Readers. So, This Christmas Eve, I want to ask you an Important Question. Actually, a Few Questions. So, Let’s Start with The First One, What does Christmas (or Hannukah/Kwanza/or even, Yule) mean to You? Does it mean Opening Presents? Does it mean The Birth of Savior Jesus Christ? Does it mean Quality Time with Family? Well, The Truth is, Christmas can mean Many Different Things. For Some, It is Jesus’ Birthday and They honor Him by going to Church or Midnight Mass. It’s kind of like singing “Happy Birthday” But, on a Much Bigger Scale with Carols about His Birth. Kinda think of it, maybe we should all have a Song about Our Birth. Maybe not a Chart-Topping Song but, a Good Song. For Many, Christmas is about The Gifts, but More Importantly the Person who brings the gifts, Santa Claus. I personally, still believe in Santa Claus because He is simply Magical, Don’t Question it, just Believe it when I tell you that It is Magical. I went to a Special Needs Dinner once and They told us that Santa should be seen more as a “Symbol of Love” versus a Symbol of Commercialism. and, More than Anything, Santa being a Symbol of Love, that My Friends, is what makes him Real. Others use it to Spend Time with Family or Friends, to Share The Joy of Christmas. And, that is What We really should be doing. Although, Unfortunately, There are People who either Lost a Family Member or Like we talked about at Thanksgiving, They don’t have any Family or Friends to spend it with. Those who lost a Family Member, I will just say that I am very sorry for your loss, regardless of What Part of The Year they passed away. It is not easy with The First Christmas after Someone passed away. Believe Me, I’ve had it with Poppi and Lynee (I found out about her passing, Two Years too Late at Christmas Time). But, Most of All, People believe that Christmas is about one Major Thing, Peace. Now, I would tell you that We should have Peace all year, but Christmas is The Only Time of Year by which We are Peaceful or We “Try” to be Peaceful. I asked several of My Friends what They wanted for Christmas and Most of Them told me, “World Peace.” And to be Honest, We should all want World Peace. There are People like me who like to do what I call “Recollect” in other words, asking a question like “So, How was Your Year?” and I now ask you that, How was Your Year? Was it Awesome? Was It Great or Okay? or Maybe it was The Worst Year of Your Life? I would hope that the Last One is not the Answer but You never know. And Finally, I add into that, What was The Best of Part of It? and What was The Worst Part of It? I personally, had a Good Year and Yes, I had a Few High Points like The Savannah Trip and Low Points like My Kidney Stones. By The Way, I should do an Honorable Mention to those who do not celebrate Christmas. So, To You Hanukkah Celebrators, I wish you the Happiest of 8 Nights of Hanukkah. The Jewish Celebrate that, by the way. You get One Present for 8 Nights as well as Lighting The Menorah and Spinning The Dreidel. Kwanza is a Holiday celebrated in Africa. Happy Kwanza to You also! And, Finally, The Holiday of Yule. They celebrate The Winter Solstice, They are originators of the “Yule Log” and “Yule-Tide Carols”. Happy Yule to You as Well. Just thought that I would mention them all! All in all, I Hope You have An Awesome (Insert Holiday Here) and From The Bottom of My Heart, Have a Merry & Blessed Christmas!
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Celebrations come in Many Forms during The Holiday Season and Open Your Hearts to those All around You.
