Happy Christmas Day and all the smiles that this day brings to those around. The excitement of Christmas Eve has passed and the child in you awakes, and you head on down the stairs, and usually you head to the kitchen for coffee or whatever, but this day you head straight for the living room and all the glory that is there. You stare at the tree and the presents galore, but you do not think of the expense, but the happiness and joy that all these gifts will bring to all those around you on this glorious Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve
On a particular Christmas Eve what would you expect to find? Everyone knows about laying out cookies and milk for Santa and some even lay out carrots for his reindeer, but what else could be around on Christmas Eve that isn't there during the rest of the year supposedly. During Christmas Eve if one looks really close one can see even though it is not physical for one can feel a sense of happiness, love, hope, charity and joy and maybe even empathy for others around them. Christmas Eve is the time that seems to bring more of these ideas.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Children enjoy Christmas in an abundance of excitement and joy.
I love seeing a child open a boxed press then play in the box lol
Giving and the thought that counts, not the money. Joy and peace and kindness.
