Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the preparation of the Holiday Season...That very special time of year when we share with our loved ones many century-old traditions...
Digging out the boxes of Christmas ornaments and decorative items from the garage rafters... baking cookies and looking up all the special recipes... those handed down for generations.
Oh, and then the shopping.... trying to find a parking space at the mall.... following the shopper with 2 carts of merchandise.... hoping to snag her parking spot as she leaves. You even get out of the car and help her unload her carts... Twenty minutes later, you're finally parked.
I wonder if that's how the Wise Men felt 2000 years ago following a star for days on end until they found their parking space.
There is a special satisfaction though once everything is done and you finally get to sit in front of that twinkling tree, gazing at the beauty of it all, writing addresses on the Christmas cards and knowing that you are giving from your heart... the greatest gift of all - LOVE!
