Who knew that 2024 would match 1822?
If only more things matched 1822. Families. Visiting. Presents. The kind of excitement and anticipation one got from this month as a child. If only that could have been preserved forever. Alas, it could not.
December is a month of reflection. The coming of Jesus, our accomplishments during the year, looking to the year ahead.
As children's author Joan Walsh Anglund said, "Christmas is a time of giving." "Christmas is a blessed time of love."
Let those words be our mantra for this entire month. Let this December be a joyous time of love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You!!
ReplyDeleteThat will definitely be my December Mantra!!!
No sense wasting time longing for the simpler and more magical Christmases of days gone by!!!
Victoria, I agree with you, but we can still summon up memories of those Christmases of long ago. I am grateful for that.
