Just Another Holiday

Just another holiday coming round in the season as the weather changes warm to cold. A chill upon the body cooling the spirits to tepid memories long passed. Thanksgiving full of laughter gatherings of family and old friends at the table in prayer and gratitude. Grateful to be here, saddened at the absence who once filled our lives and chairs. Christmas just around the bend with lists down to the floor not filled with need, just wanting more. A multitude of lights, blinking and still colors dancing on the wires galore decorative memories well stored. Here it comes once again the lighting of the trees wrappings and endless tags present unseen. Magic in the air, carols played continuously everywhere hustle, bustle crowds everywhere hurrying with care. Children good and well behaved, dreaming of all they crave waiting less patient in untempered anticipation of the day. Just another holiday, no, not quite this one filled with wild-eyed delight. So, happy holidays, good wishes to all may it set your spirits free on Hanukah, Kwanza or Christmas whatever day that encourages you to believe may it bring you the love and peace God sends you on this day.
