This Christmas

Posted by: Sadie  :  Category: Perceptions

This Holiday Season is really starting off with a Big Bang.  Christmas Movies are being aired daily, throughout the day … this year I didn’t have to wait for evenings in December to view a Christmas flick or settle for Xmas music that is played on the radio non-stop following Thanksgiving.  Both the Hallmark Channel and ABC Family have holiday movies with showings that are almost continuous.

Now I am not going to review any specific movie, because there are just so many.  Lately, my days have been filled with wonderful and entertaining holiday shows.  I have seen 2 of Santa’s brother, his daughter and his son; two versions of an endangered Santa village … each village facing public exposure; separated families reunited; and through the magic of TV,  more Xmas family gatherings than I could ever actually attend in any one season.

I think ‘my cup has actually runneth over” … but I haven’t hardly had enough.  So far thru that charismatic box, I have had plenty of snow; many cold and frosty evenings at home with the family; cut down and decorated loads of Xmas Tree’s; so many hot chocolate’s in front of a roaring fire that I actually believe I’ve gained some weight.  Sucks, I couldn’t be happier.

And that ‘feeling’, that ‘change’ that seems to happen among folks around Christmas is in the air, now.  I know I’m not imagining it, folks are warming up to each other … I’m seeing more smiles … people are becoming a little more curtious and gentle to each other.

Gosh, I wish we could bottle this feeling that is fluttering about, and sprinkle it around throughout the year.

Happy Holidays to All!
