Christmas Spirit

Looking at your Christmas decorations, contemplating "Where will I get the energy for decorating?"

Are you saying "I don't feel like decorating? Let's skip Christmas."

Then you ask "Why do I decorate, what is the point?"

You may have already asked others in the house to decorate with you and you got a negative response like "I'm to busy, don't have the time!"

Or maybe you just jumped right in and said "Let the decorating begin!"

You may have jumped in and said "Let's get this over with." You did it all out of expectations from others in the family or pressure from the messages the world sends like "Make it look good because if it looks good you are good."

What was your mind, heart and spirit like as you were decorating?

If you have not started yet, ask yourself (or maybe you already did) "Where is my Christmas Spirit?"

In the next couple weeks, let us explore together where will the "Christmas Spirit" come from? Will it be a feeling? Will we get a sudden jolt of energy and joy that we will be able to decorate, cook, bake, write Christmas cards,attend Christmas parties, and finally visit with family we have not been talking to?

How will we get the Spirit? What should I be feeling right now as I prepare?

Well, I think for today I will just let you figure out where you are with the idea of Christmas. After all it is 28 days away. Just sayin!
