There's something about Christmas that is bittersweet. While it's an absolute joy to celebrate with my family and loved ones, I find an inherent sadness, perhaps tears of joy would best describe this feeling, during this season. The act of giving, the warmth of the setting, the food being shared-- it's all very wonderful. However, I really wish we could all stop and do this more often instead of reserving so much for just a few special days out of the year. Perhaps this will be a New Year's resolution of mine.
Anyway. Happy Holidays, everyone! I'd like to say thanks for the support, the discussion and the feedback this year!
Merry Christmas to you! I often wish it was just more than these few days. I don't know. I get an extra bounce in my step sometimes during the holidays that I wish I had all year long.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jaime. I read your post over at perpetualpageturner.blogspot.com, but haven't been able to comment yet. It was very moving. Thanks for sharing my sentiment! Happy Holidays to you and all your loved ones!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Beth. I agree with you about this time of year - I wish more people we inclined to celebrate family and giving more than once a year.
