Christmas future is far away, Christmas past is past, Christmas present is here today, bringing joy that may last...

What a great attitude adjustment song! This is Carpe Diem with a Dickensian twist! Through traditions, we can emulate prior Christmases, but we cannot relive them. Through planning, we can prepare for Christmases to come, but a lot can happen between now and then.

I have figured out for myself that I don't have to overdo. I don't have to overspend. I simply have to make an attempt to make our Christmas happy. That needs to be my focus.

THIS MOMENT, THIS CHRISTMAS, slow down and make someone happy. You will find that by making someone's Christmas merry, yours stands that much better a chance of turning out merry as well.

Merry Christmas, from my family to yours!

so true, so many people have forgotten the real meaning behind christmas. it is not about the amount of money or the gift at all. it is about remembering where it all started to begin with.
we all need to simplify, some of us have been forced to.

Amen! I surely can't do what I can't do. Worrying paralyzes me from doing what I can. Today, I'll do what I can, today.
