Softer and more beautiful
Our Christmas tree, December 2006
“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ” ― Norman Vincent Peale
When you think of the holiday season, what words come to mind? I’m afraid that too often, we think of words such as busy, excited, rushed, tired, pressured. But no matter how many activities and events we jam into our December schedules, there are usually at least a few moments of quiet beauty that refresh our spirits and feed our souls.
I wish you many such moments this year! Feel free to share your thoughts about the softer, more beautiful gifts you are enjoying this season.
