I love the joyous splendiferous feelings of Christmas… the Christmas Spirit and good will towards others. AND the senses are fully engaged at Christmas… we experience not just the sights and smells of the season … but also the kindness to one another. Now I know that some will be quick to point out the downsides… the rush, the mindless gift-giving and such… but that is what we’ve made it. At the core of Christmas, is the joy. I love the joy.
