I don’t know if you have a Christmas Tree tradition or not…
Some in the Christian community have tried to shame the treasured ritual. The pressure they exert can be overwhelming at times.
While they’re denying good little boys and girls everywhere of this joyous event (and denying the existence of the Easter bunny), I can’t help but wonder, “why do these folks always come to these holy conclusions after their kids have grown and left the house?”
I have to laugh just a little as we watch the classic animated, “Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town”… especially the part where the winter warlock talks about working his “magic” shortly after the narrator explains why Santa is only going to deliver toys once a year during the holiest night of the year.
I’ll admit, that makes me a tad uncomfortable, but I never thought twice about it as a child.
There’s a DuraFlame log flickering in the fireplace while the scent of fresh baked cookies wafts through the house… I do love this time of year!
We wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.
