HI GRIZZ - I feel sorry for those who only observe and do not participate and experience the spirit
of the season. It is in the doing, being part of, living in the truth of it all that we become the season of hope, each and every one of us.
Love to you
Gail
peace.....

Yes, too often we just blithely join the party without understanding the reason for the celebration. There's no depth, no consideration, no cause-and-effect to our action. Christmas has an incredible wealth of layers—secular, spiritual, folkloric, historical, geographic, cultural, literary, musical, etc.—woven into its traditions and practice. The richness comes from knowing the whys and hows and wheres of what you're observing.

I am absolutely full of expectancy Grizz. I love Advent and the build up and I savour every moment.

Me, too. Every year, the feeling is the same…a wonderful, delightful, even child-like growing expectancy as the season unfolds. The air is filled with wonder and magic. And I hope I never change.
