MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS
Christmas is magic. The crowning of the year with the
shortest day and the reversal of the sun’s journey gives life to our planet. We
come through the time of the ultimate darkness and turn back to the light. The
joy of the season is the recognition that the darkness is once more moving from
us.
With the internet, the preparation for Christmas is
awesomely simple. I don’t even wait for Cyber-Monday, I just get out there and
get with it. I ordered more things than usual this year and threw my credit
card company into a panic. “Please call us and verify that no one else has your
card, you have some unusual activity occurring.” Just doing my part to promote
economic prosperity for all I was able to touch electronically.
The magic is in my grandchildren’s faces when they see the
wrapped things of mystery. They are too young to be at that greedy stage and
still just wonder where all the wrapped things come from. Too young to even
acknowledge the Santa myth, but not too young to know that Grandma is really
fun, and there is some really fun stuff at her house.
