It's time for me to admit it. I use a lot of bravado at the holiday time, I paint on a brave smile and try my best to make everyone happy. The truth is I spend a lot of the season feeling like I haven't done enough or made lavish enough purchases. Would I like to give far beyond our means, you bet. I just don't want to give people things I want to give people something more.
I wish I could wrap up my true Christmas wishes for everyone but how do you wrap joy, a child like sense of wonder, a moment of perfect happiness, love? How do you wrap the wish that someone always have enough and than just a bit more? I wish I had a way to put those things in a box. To wrap it with paper, ribbons, and tie a bow on top. So I could hand you a present that is more elegant mere words to all of you, and my family. If I could wrap up a box with support, hope and encouragement you'd be receiving that too.
So since I can't figure out how to place my wishes for you in boxes, plus can you imagine the whining I would be doing about all the wrapping. Please know I wish you the Happiest of Holidays, the Merriest of Christmases, and may your New Year be the best yet.
