Essence of the Holidays
frantic shoppers bustling through crowded stores
holidays take on new meaning
department store Santas
delight children’s dreams
great expectations
peace and love permeate the atmosphere
remember the Babe in Bethlehem
born in bitter winds, but bringing warmth to the world
getting caught up in the commercialization
defuses the harmony of celebration
love is the greatest gift to bestow
camaraderie and brotherhood align with God’s plan
