Simple

In the hurried insanity that has become the Christmas season,
take a moment to remember why we celebrate the holiday.
It is not about the boxes.
It is not about the bags.
It is not about the ribbons.
It is not about the decorations.
It is not about the light displays.


I have a beautiful friend who posted a photo of her Christmas tree
and beneath it she typed, "Simple, but I like it."


That is as it should be.
She captured, in one little photo and sentence,
what we all need to learn.


Keep it simple this season.
Enjoy the music.
Enjoy the meaning.
Enjoy your family and friends.
Enjoy the Reason for this Season.


God bless and Merry Christmas.
Have a simple day.
