This night…
‘Tis the night before the night before Christmas and all through the house…
I just love this very night. It is my favourite of the season. It’s just a few hours away from the real excitement but not quite and so it is mostly calm with a bit of expectation. It’s the calm before the storm of holiday festivities and I think everyone takes some time out about right now to stop, breathe, regroup and really enjoy the true meaning of what the season is all about.
I tend to sit back and think about all the memories from the year so far and how far we’ve come since this time last year…how the whole year seemed to go by so fast but the feeling of fun has lasts and it seems like only yesterday it was warm; how big the little ones are getting, but how it seems like only not too long ago that I myself was just a kid and how really I still am…and not only at heart; how very blessed we are to have a warm place to sleep and food for our tummies and how good it feels to give to charities any time of the year but especially now, keeping the spirit alive to live all through the year to come when a child believes in a caring world that lives in the warmth of a brand new teddy bear.
This night…love makes all the difference. Happy night before the night before Christmas…
