Christmas is my favorite time of year, not so much because of the trappings, but because it's a rare time of year when many people stop to think, as busy as they are getting ready for the holiday. It's a time of year when the promise of heaven seems so near, and so reachable. I find that by and large, despite the horror stories of nasty shoppers and increased stress levels, people are actually much easier to deal with between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's a time of year when the Christmas and Easter Christians attend services, and a time when the more frequent churchgoers spend more time focusing on the divine. It is the time of year that hope is rediscovered, and the fallen human condition is closest to glimpsing the face of God.
"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?"
-- Bob Hope
