The most important thing I do during the Christmas holidays, is to go to the Taos Pueblo. They have a very different way of celebrating, and it has nothing to do with the materialism we experience. Something ancient, old, and new again. It's a soul celebration.annell4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07629830133868270690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510596473943702617.post-66984835811192301202010-12-13T12:13:23.477-06:002010-12-13T12:13:23.477-06:00Thank you Rick...you are right..I think I have bee...Thank you Rick...you are right..I think I have been visited by the angels Dickens wrote of...and of course they weren't sent by Dickens .When I watched the video this morning,sent by my friend, I sat there and was overwhelmed with joy pure joy ...and tears flowed as you said....Get the tree and creche up man..Let's celebrate!<br />Oh Elena...Merry God filled Christmas...let us all seek the joy of the good news....Celebrate!<br /><br />I will tell my friend she started a revolution of sorts...a call to arms around us allSuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510596473943702617.post-71452275489926217572010-12-13T11:29:03.239-06:002010-12-13T11:29:03.239-06:00Thank you for this.

I haven't decorated except for a skinny bare tree in the corner to try and placate my son. I just don't feel 'christmasey' but realize now I don't feel the holiday like the media is telling me to. I forgot the true meaning. And I saw the video. And cried. Not for the pretty music but the look on the faces of the little boys and on the man's face who looked as if he'd just received the best gift of all. It was in his eyes. And I realized I had almost let my retaliation against 'whomever' snuff out the glimmer in my eye. Thanks for this. Now I have to go find the decorations.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363914463883000210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510596473943702617.post-82191384989492808522010-12-13T11:03:00.680-06:002010-12-13T11:03:00.680-06:00So get my choked up in the morning, will ya! That ...So get my choked up in the morning, will ya! That video was amazing. <br /><br />My company happens to be one of our few in a mall. To see something like that would be so uplifting. I had tears watching, and I imagined all those people continuing their song, walking out together into the streets, to the neighborhoods, into their homes, and gathered 'round their hearths, singing to love, kindness, and celebrating the true spirit and meaning of Christmas. <br /><br />That's what I rail against every year from Thanksgiving to Christmas. It's what my seemingly "bitter" posts of late are trying to say: Take back the holiday...NO take back the spirit and meaning of the holiday, and manifest it with love of self, friends, and family. Drop the shopping bags and join hands in what my minister has, for decades, said "in the spirit of kindness, and with an attitude of love." <br /><br />Suz, you get it. You know what the meaning is, and you illustrated it that day riding in the car. <br /><br />God's presence, Suz, is in your grandpa's visits, a song on the radio, memories of Christmases past, and even in the reshaping of the holidays as you say.<br /><br />If only everyone this time of year had your perspective, and resolve to move forward. <br /><br />I appreciate your thoughts, words, and your life view. I sincerely wish for you and your family, no matter where they are, a Christmas filled with true meaning and peaceful souls... <br /><br />RickR.
