What is Christmas?

Jodi Lee singing a Christmas Compilation

 

"What is Christmas?

 
Faith and hope and love are the wellsprings of Christmas celebrations. These are gifts without price, the ornaments incapable of imitation, discovered only within oneself. They are not always easy to come by, but they are in unlimited supply.
 
This Christmas mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss Suspicion, and replace it with trust. Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Listen. Apologize if you are wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Appreciate. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little. laugh a little more. Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice. Express your gratitude. Go to church. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of this earth. These are inklings of a vast category....a mere scathing of the surface.
 
They are simple things. You have heard them all before, but their influence has never been measured."
 
 
Merry Christmas Friends!
Love, Jodi lee
