Christmas means different things to all of us. Watching the excitement in my own kids as they wake up at ridiculous hours of the morning to see what gifts might be there takes me back to my own childhood. I remember nights of looking outside into the stars hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa, and filling the car washing bucket with water for the reindeers and making sure we had left enough room for them to land. Now it feels more like an event to survive rather than one to anticipate.

Einstein challenged this attitude stating, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed."

There is so much more to Christmas than what we can sometimes let it become. If you, like me, have lost some of the wonder then take some time to reflect on the mysteries of Christmas and re-embrace the wonder it can provide.

Happy and safe holidays, see you all next year!!
