Did you know, that at this moment, it is TIME LEFT until Christmas? I know that because I looked at one of the many online countdown clocks that tell you exactly how long it is until Christmas. And after the countdown clock ends, do you know what it does? It starts again. Counting down until next year. Because in our collective consciousness there’s this idea that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. That’s a lot of pressure to put on one day. And there are a lot of ways that it can go wrong. What if the meal you’re cooking for tomorrow doesn’t taste right? What if the kids don’t like the gifts they open? What if you get in an argument with one of your relatives? What if you aren’t able to spend tonight and tomorrow with everyone you were hoping to. We say Merry Christmas with this anticipation that tonight and tomorrow, will be merry and bright. Happy and full of joy.
