~ Calvin Coolidge
Despite the
craziness and a general feeling that we don't have enough time to do everything
we want to do, buy every present we would like to buy, and be everywhere we
would like be, there is something about Christmas that makes it special. In part, I think we find Christmas a reason
to be our better selves, the kinder, gentler version.
My son has
enthusiastically gotten into the Christmas spirit. I am not sure whether it is visions of
Christmas morning or the school recital to which he is looking forward or maybe
just the general magic of it all that has him especially happy. This morning, I heard him say, "Good
morning" to one of our grumpier neighbors.
She seemed startled, but mumbled a response. My son smiled and continued on his merry
way. I think he may just have brightened
her day a little.
