It’s Christmas …
This is the first time since 2009 — basically since the 2010-2011 earthquakes — that I’ve actually put up a Christmas tree and it feels pretty nice to have taken that step into something a little closer to emotional normalcy. (And don’t you love that slogan, Eat Sleep Read, on the bag? 😉 )
Anyway, wherever you are today, I would like to take this moment to wish you joy in whatever you are doing, whether it’s spending time with family and friends, curled up with a good book, or movie, or music, or working.
My very first Christmas on the blog, in 2010, I posted Howard Thurman’s words on Christmas & I still can’t think of many that speak to the day better, so I invite you to read them again here.
Take care, one and all.
Season’s Greetings.
I hope you had a good day.
Yes – the slogan on the shopping bag is just about describes my day.
The poem has been set to music by Jim Strathdee, full lyrics here:

Merry Christmas, Helen! Nice tree, and glad you’re able to put it up this year. Love the slogan. 😀
Howard Thurman’s words are apt. Lovely poem.
Merry Christmas, Helen
Thanks everyone, for the Christmas wishes. I had a great day with family and friends and hope you did, too.
