The days before Christmas are wonderful aren’t they?

Filled with anticipation as we, once again, feel like little girls and boys.

When the whole world acts a little kinder…when, in the air, we can feel her joy.

Joy that seems to permeate…that increases a little every day

as we excitedly watch the calendar…counting down to the holiday.

And how many times before Christmas..wherever we go…do we hear…

how Christmas and the holiday season…is the best time of the year?

It’s not that bad things aren’t happening…that our world is suddenly peaceful and free 

It’s just…on the days before Christmas…we remember 

and act like the people we were created to be.

Then comes the day after Christmas…once the celebration is over we find…

how often those feelings we felt before Christmas…are easily left behind.

How, again, we are faced with a world where bad things are happening…

A world at war…where not everyone is free.

and we find it easier to avoid and ignore the people we were created to be.

But I think we’re looking at this all wrong…I think the best way for our world to survive…

Is not to look at this day…as the day after Christmas…

but 364 days until the next one arrives.

364 days to be filled with anticipation..as each day we feel like little girls and boys…

When each day the whole world acts a little kinder

and, in the air, you can feel her joy.

Joy that seems to permeate and increase a little every day…

as we excitedly watch our calendars…counting down to the next Christmas Day.

So here’s a Christmas wish if have…which you are all free to explore…

Instead of thinking of this day as the day after Christmas…

Think of it as 364 days before…

Perhaps if more and more people felt this way…

there’d be less prejudice and hatred and fear…

and every day we might hear someone say…

THIS…is the best time of the year.
