"Maybe Christmas, the Grinch
thought, doesn't come from a store."
~ Dr. Seuss
It's a
chicken and egg kind of thing... I'm not
sure whether Christmas makes us appreciate our friends more or whether the gift
of friendship makes it feel like Christmas.
Either way, Christmas and friendship feel very connected to me. On a recent evening, my children had a couple
of friends over. The friends went with
us to my mother's house to help decorate her tree. They came back to our home and sang songs,
and then they proceeded to our kitchen to make slime (which somehow has become
very popular). A few minutes later, I overhead one of the friends
say: "This is true friendship:
Sitting in someone's kitchen making slime." It does feels like Christmas.
