Fourth Day of Christmas




On the fourth day of Christmas I gave my true loves:


The gift of Simple Seasonal Pleasures



There was a time I resented the intrusion of the secular celebration of Christmas on the spiritual celebration--even though I'd grown up believing in Santa.  It was a great deal of fun as a child to anticipate the presents waiting for me Christmas morning.  My little brother would always be the first to awake, though, and come get me.  Perhaps he thought Big sister would make it OK to sneak into the living room before our parents woke up because then I'd get the blame.  With fond memories such as these I continued the Santa tradition with my children even as I felt guilty doing so.

Now, I believe that all of life is spiritual if you just move the veil aside.  I believe that God can be seen in all things, if we are looking from that perspective.  There are lessons to be learned and truths to be gained by enjoying the simple pleasures in life.  Just for today take the time to enJOY whatever the season has to offer with someone you love.

    I absolutely agree!! From the joy of decorating the house, to baking, to gift giving, when it is done with love, God is pleased!
