The Essence of Christmas

                           


              Christmas is a time to renew bonds of love. It's a wonderful time when loved ones can show appreciation for each other. It's also a great time to use that love to build bridges of understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness.

                    Christmas is best enjoyed when it isn't centered on decorations, gifts, or festivities, but when love is at its core. Love is the essence of Christmas. Christmas should mean taking quality time with your family and friends. It's about cherishing and celebrating the love you share.

                      Christmas is a time to see the world through the eyes of love. It's a time to remember that the world is made up of people like us and to see them for who they are inside. All have problems like we do, no matter who they are or where they come from.

                    Finally, Christmastime is a season of joy. It is a time to regain our laughter and sense of humor. Everything may collapse; life itself may be very cruel, but our optimism must be very high. With our laughter we can challenge the sad world to look at us and be hopeful. We wish all our readers a joyful and peaceful Christmas.
