Cool Monday

Good morning everyone, look what I came across the other day. No, not for me, I brought it to the attention of someone else who was delighted. Her husband explained, she had one rooms with wall to wall villages, all for the month of December. Yes, it was kept out all year, there was too much of it to put away each year only to be taken out again in a few months. Her happiness at this find was INFECTIOUS.

I happily went on my way towards the area I wanted to check out. But it was a good reminder on how another person’s happiness can have such a positive effect on others. Everyone around got into the “spirit” as she told us about her Christmas room. Meanwhile for me it was back to the search for items to work into my fright journal. –smiles— just thinking about the black soot pages, splattering of dried blood, and other fiendish fun things I can find.

To each one’s own…. pleasures be… and happily for me, I delight in the décor and fun of Hallow’s eve…. pour me another ! coffin- tender… stale black coffee with a lot of ice….make sure it is cold enough to turn my fingers blue…and I’ll thank you with a wink from my stitched and bleeding eye, if you are quick about it, I will tip you with a 1000 year old egg.

oh dear, oh dear, I think the fresh air is too intoxicating for me

Have a screeching fun day.

ON a serious note..Service is at 10 tomorrow... {Ancestors Day ceremony} by then, we hope to have tamed the brat in me.

Remember spread happiness today and always.

Being cheerful

December arrives, and the excitement starts to build

The airwaves are full of happy songs anticipating the festive holidays

As children it didn’t matter what or where the holiday originated

not really, it was that everyone seemed so happy, and time was made

for decorating, planning and having friends and family over.

It centered around an evergreen tree, if you were lucky enough to have

one fresh from the farm or farmer’s market, the smell of the freshly cut

tree would permeate the house.

In school, we were told about what Christmas meant to our classmates

and how, the spirit of goodwill to all, was the lesson we should be learning

Mostly we were from different backgrounds, and the teacher would do

his/her best to show us how in respecting each other’s differences

we could all enjoy this wonderful holiday together. Learn from each other

and share in the giving of “loving one another” and working towards

“peace on earth”

We were encouraged to make something special for those we cared about

it was a time where we made time to find something to give our

closest friends and parents something from the “heart”

It wasn’t about the cost, but about showing how that person brought

happiness into our lives by sharing their lives with ours.

Xmas cards were so much fun to make or pick out, each with a message

that was specific to that friend or parent.

There was an innocence, a joy, it felt good to say Merry Christmas.. to one and all

Not for religious reasons, but because it was being respectful, and caring.

Like saying, “have a great day and life” Almost always it brought a smile for a response.

Yes, the world is changing, and Yes there are now many more cultures that have come together

under one umbrella. The month of December is the one time that should be Universal in maintaining

the spirit of Christmas.. (Xmas)….. we are all ONE… we all love, hurt, endure,and live one day at a time.

We want health, happiness and longevity for ourselves and our loved ones. no matter who we are….

let us celebrate this holiday, with the mantra of “goodwill to all”

allow the cheerfulness of the season, to bring glad tidings to all…..

Love makes all things possible

God is love

Merry Christmas?

Everywhere we go there are decorations, and signs advertising events to celebrate the festive season. Merry Christmas was the standard greeting of the day back when I was a “youngster”. Even though I myself didn’t celebrate “Christmas” I knew what it was supposed to mean. My Mother would take us to church where we would hear about the birth of Jesus and hear the Christmas songs that were being sung. That was pretty much it, in the world away from the Sunday service, it was all about hanging out.music,dancing, & going out. Then there was the formal or family dinner, that no one was really interested in except the parents, I didn’t care for it then anymore than I care for it now.

What I do love and I mean truly have a deep affection for, is the spirit of what the season is supposed to be about. It is my belief that this should be the spirit all year long, not just on a given day or month. Goodwill to all, and Peace on Earth.

Asked why I participate” in the trappings of Xmas. I do so because my family and friends do, it is their tradition. I may not study the bible, or follow the “teacher” they do,but I love them, and respect their way to God. God is our connection, in God we are all ONE. ” Everyone has a different point of view. Let’s enjoy and appreciate the personalities and differences we all have.” (PL Teaching)

We all celebrate the JOY of GOD, we all pray for PEACE on EARTH, if some say it by wishing me a Merry Xmas, then Merry Christmas it is.
