Merry Chirstmas to Everyone!!

I know how distorted Christmas can get. Sometimes it seems like everyone is in it for all the wrong reasons. Every channel on TV is buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell! And it gets very frustrating. We wonder, has everyone lost the meaning? In some ways maybe we have, and that’s why so many of us feel lost during Christmas. Maybe that’s why we feel purposeless, or just bored and down. But although Christmas has become "commercialized", there are certain things about Christmas that will never die.

One of them being, the birth of greatness. No matter what you believe in, spiritually or religiously, that greatness means you and me! The day we were born represents a miracle. We represent that anything is possible. We are the culmination of love. We are everything embodied in flesh and blood. So when they talk about Christmas being the birth of Christ, it also symbolized the birth of you and I and the way that we can give people joy. That is what the celebration is about. Everything we are is amazing! Everything we can be is limitless!

The other thing that will never die no matter how commercialized Christmas becomes is - LOVE. For real, the whole world revolves around it. We all need someone to love us, someone that says "no matter what, I am here for you, I will love you through your mistakes and walk with you on this journey you are traveling." Love is the real reason for Christmas. To show love to everyone you meet. Give someone that gift once a day. Even when Christmas is long gone...It’s like, this time of year reminds us of the goodness that is in the world, the purity that is within us, the compassion that we have to offer. The joy we can give, with a smile, a hug, the words, “I love you”. The meaning of the little things that can be taken for granted on a regular basis.
