The Twelve Days of ChristmasPosted by Nick Niesen on November 1st, 2010 Christmas is expanding. It is rapidly becoming a world holiday broadening itself beyond the ?christian? belief. It is becoming a holiday that celebrates the virtues of peace, and charity and good will. It is a world holiday celebrating HOPE. There is so much said on the subject of world peace. And yet the real solution is so simple. It begins with acceptance that we are all different, and that different isn?t really bad. Christmas is coming soon. This world celebration of the concept of Peace and Hope. There is something we can do, something as individuals to promote this celebration and spread the joy of the fruits of Peace all around us. This is a tradition my little family has carried on for almost twenty years! We have enjoyed the mystery and excitement of watching from a distance the happy expressions of those we treat! Here are a couple of responses left on the porch for us in years past: Bless you and yours on this special night, and always and forever know: We love you!? And another response: ?Thanks so much for making our Christmas so much fun and special. We have loved your nightly visits and gifts! We have been touched that someone is thinking of us. We have felt a little blue every now and then about not being with our family so far away. But as soon as the doorbell rings and we find another surprise, we forget our blues and excitedly run to see what awaits us! Thanks so very much!?

It is amazing what an anonymous gift of joy from the heart can do for the hope and peace of a longing soul! Like it? Share it!More by this author |
