The young journalist dreaded going to the restaurant even though her friends and she were celebrating a friend’s holiday birthday. As they entered the establishment, it was just like she had imagined – jam-packed with people. What else would one expect during Christmas week?
The minutes ticked by and it seemed like hours. Would they ever get their reserved table? Finally, they were seated. As she gazed around the bustling restaurant, the journalist could feel the spirit of Christmas. Appetizing smells of Italian food permeated the room. Smiling friends engaging in conversation seemed to stretch for miles. She was so glad she had attended her friend’s birthday celebration. It made her forget about the tough day she had at the newspaper company.
She started thinking about what a wonderful feeling the holidays bring to everyone. Why can’t it be like this all year long, she thought.
In today’s busy world, we often forget that holiday spirit. As a result, we don’t spend as much quality time with our family and friends. This year make a resolution to experience that festive feeling more throughout the year. Don’t make excuses. Find the time to spend with your family and friends. Use this recipe to keep you in the holiday spirit even though it’s not December:
Take a heap of a child-like wonder that opens up our eyes
To the unexpected gifts in life, each day a sweet surprise.
Mix in fond appreciation for the people whom we know
Like festive Christmas candles, each one has a special glow.
Add some giggles and laughter, a dash of Christmas food,
Amazing how a piece of pie, improves an attitude.
Stir it all with human kindness, wrap it up in love and peace,
Decorate with optimism and our joy will never cease.
If we use this healthy recipe, we know we will remember,
To be in the Christmas spirit, even when it’s not December.
