The Enduring Christmas Spirit

The Christmas Spirit doesn't change things. It changes the way we look at things.

Instead of appearing when we ask for it, or when we expect it or when we pray for it, the Spirit of Christmas flows out of us waking and sleeping. 

The Christmas Spirit helps us better see the decency and nobility in others. We are more generous in giving, more liberal in praise. The Christmas Spirit encourages compassion for the weak, empathy for the mournful; gives us a tender smile, a robust laugh. 

Bestowing supersedes acquiring. Peace replaces disquiet.  Kindness, goodness, gentleness prevail. An enduring Christmas Spirit uncovers the divinity that blesses us all.
