I imagine you have pushed outside, or put in a box, that Christmas tree that shone so beautifully during Christmas. I had four trees, two villages and lots of other things around our house. My two daughters, my son and two grandsons came to help me decorate. This was so wonderful! However, they were nowhere to be seen when it was time to take it all down. Of course I didn’t ask them either.
Why are we so different after Christmas? There are the sour faced people any time of the year who push you aside when you are either standing in a line or driving a car. I feel sorry for them. But I’m talking about you or me. Don’t we act different after Christmas? Before Christmas just walking down the sidewalk we smile and other people smile at us. Our happiness of the season shows. Christmas is coming and so we are smiling? Even our insides feel better somehow. I guess they are smiling too! But the season ends and we evidently have put our smiles away with the tree and its ornaments.
Let’s go back. In at least one of those boxes we will find our smile. Next time you are out with other folks, smile, and you will find that most of them will smile back at you, even if you don’t know them. You will find you feel much better. It’s fun to be alive! Every season of the year is beautiful!
