5 things i love about christmas…

1. The Songs of the Season, especially "Silent Night" and "In the Bleak Midwinter"

2. Children's behavior - Many children are so extra open at this season. Santa came to our party Sunday evening and one little boy (age 5) ran and grabbed him by the leg. I wondered if he would let him go. Then he did the same thing when Santa had to leave. It was marvelous!

3. Santa Claus

4. Angels - Not only did they sing "Hallelujah!" I believed there was divine laughter at the announcement of the birth of Christ, a heavenly giddiness that could not restrain joyful laughing. This laughter continues to resonate during the Christmas season.

5. Attention to "Peace on Earth" - there are many phrases that go with the season, "Peace on earth" is one of (if not the) best!
