French CaldwellImagine if we didn’t have Christmas at the end of the year? What would it be like in the cold dark northern hemisphere?
The New Year would probably still be a time of starting anew with a fresh perspective – but towards the end of the old year …? Perhaps at work instead of having office parties and passing presents around, we’d be totaling up all the things we did not get done. It would be kind of a sourpuss period of self-loathing and regrets at work. Instead thanks to Christmas, we pass around secret Santa gifts, take off early to get to our kids’ Christmas pageants, eat lots of sweet stuff, drink too much, and say and do things that hopefully in the joy of the season our friends and colleagues forgive us for by 2 January.
Well, I’m having my office party this afternoon – I’ll get together with a couple of neighbors who also work at home, and we’ll go chug some mocha frappuchinos at the local Starbucks, while looking forward to Sunday, Christmas Day. Home with family, friends and relatives celebrating a birth 2000 years ago. Peace, Hope and Love to all.
