So I’ve been a little behind on Christmas spirit this year.  Seems like every year, this city’s decorations go up earlier and earlier and it’s difficult to get into the holiday that has become so commercialized.  But the truth is, Christmas is more than just decorations and black Friday deals.  It’s family and friends.  Love and kindness.  Faith and awe.  It’s laying under the tree and gazing at the lights.  Ice skating in Rosa Parks circle, and if you’re anything like me, hobbling away with lots of bruises and laughs.  Its curling up under a blanket and watching Bing Crosby in White Christmas for the millionth time.  We all celebrate the holidays differently, but the point is, CELEBRATE.  Who cares if you don’t have time to decorate your house with boughs of holly.  Decorate your soul instead.
