"...And So This Is Christmas..."

So this is Christmas…

I am having a hard time getting into the spirit this year.  Many of the people that I talk to are having the same problem.  Economic issues, family health issues, getting older, missing the kids (holy crap did I say that?), life changes.

I had it for a minute yesterday when we were wrapping the gifts for the children from the churches in the village.  It grew a little when the two teachers came to pick up the gifts.  Funny how when you sit in the Cayuco club with other people, Christmas Carols on the Sirius radio, wrapping toothbrushes, notebooks , pencils and assorted toys you forget your problems.  You start to realize that your problems are small.  You are more blessed then damned.  You have a roof over your head, your children are employed, your parents are healthy, you have good friends around you, and you just started a new exercise program.

So where is Christmas?  It is where it always is… in your heart.  May your heart be filled with the Christmas spirit.
