Many things announce Yuletide, a season of joy. Europe or America, Middle East or Asia, there is a peculiar feeling that announces the season. In Africa where I belong, there is no other feeling like Christmas.
When the weather is hazy, then you know Christmas is coming. The songs that rent the air are not the usuals for all seasons. When activities peak and showing of love becomes the norm, then you know that Christmas is near.
Old and young, the feeling is just the same. Christmas is not race sensitive, I hope you know. Religion accords Christmas its dues, irrespective of faith. Social or economic class defer to Christmas. Why can’t every day even be like Christmas?
The season is here and I am just excited. Many reasons to be grateful to the Author of life. If you are the discerning type you will know that every cycle completed is just by His grace. This joy is mine but I’m glad to share.
Long and short, let your joy come from the inside. Not because all is perfect but more because it is a season of joy. Who on earth kills the joy that breeds his hope for a renewed vitality? If the only thing left is hope, then be assured your dream is alive.
The prince of peace is the reason for the season. The reason for the season is enough reason to be joyful. If you have the reason, then joy comes with your season. If you have enough of joy, don’t forget to share.
A touch of red is a sign of Christmas. It is no coincidence that red is also the colour of love. No other season spreads agape love like the season of love itself. Christmas is not just a season of love but also of joy, peace and good tidings.
The best of the season is a season of joy. The joy that comes with this season is so infectious to be kept within. My joy is full, I am just excited. This joy is mine but I’m glad to share. I just want to tell you that Christmas is coming.
Compliments of the season.
