This week ushers us fully into Yuletide. I took a moment to ponder and I am imagining, what if everyday is Christmas?
No one needs to announce Christmas. The feeling is not the same as any other season all through the year. What if the feeling lasts all year long?
What if the love that accompanies Christmas is shared all days round the year?
What if the less privileged feel valued and remembered every single day of the year?
What if we make giving a daily affair as we share our excess possessions with the needy, some of whom we are too busy to notice at the peak of our hustles?
What if we put our differences aside, like we do at Christmastime, and share great moments together as the season leads us into a new year without the burden of unforgiveness?
If everyday is Christmas, will Christmas still be special? Maybe not. What makes Christmas special is its seasonal nature and the message of love it spreads.
Christmas is particularly special because it announces the birth of Christ, the prince of peace and saviour of mankind.
Everyday cannot be Christmas but we can choose to live everyday with the spirit of love, sacrifice, caring and giving.
In the spirit of the season, I just want to wish you a very Merry Christmas. Much love ❤️
