Christmas is near! :-)

The time is nearing for the big day. “Are you ready?”

What big day you may ask?

Well, it will be Christmas very soon! There are only three sleeps left till “Christmas Day” is here.

“Santa” will have come, and went, the gifts left under the tree.

The children once asleep with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. Will be wide awake, their eyes brightly shining, smiles wide upon their faces, will scamper to the tree and look over each gift to see which one is theirs. The giggles, and glee in their voices pierce the once silence of the sleeping house. Now is the time for the busy elves to rise from the warmth of their bed, and join in on the excitement of the day.

“Coffee, or Tea”, is the first stimulant needed.

The children and some of the adult elves can hardly wait for the beverage to be ready. But, with out this, it is hard to handle the hustle, and bustle which is about to happen.

“The time has come.”

The once quiet children have begun to unwrap their gifts one by one. Wrapping paper which was once so carefully applied to each gift, is now flying through the air, and littering the once clean tidy room. But, all this frenzy is worth the look on the faces of the children. The thank yous, and kisses and hugs of joy make all the stress of shopping seem like a long-time lost memory.

“It was all worth it.”

I love Christmas not just for the looks on the childrens faces, but for the closeness that comes over most of us on this day of giving. We gather round, and give thanks for the things we have, and enjoy a feast prepared by loving hands.

“I wish everyone out there, A very Merry Christmas.”

Be safe, and do not drink and drive.
