I've lived a lotta stuff.And I've know Joy and Bliss.
I've dabbled, curiously,
in various belief systems...
...searching for Truth.
Some people hate Christmas. I don't understand why. I realize how commercial everything has become, but I refuse to let the commercialism steal my Joy. I love the season, I always have. I can still feel the Majic, the Majic that has always been alive, no matter what the season. I can't help it, though, that I feel it more intensely, when I hear Christmas music, or see sparkly Christmas lights. It's just engrained in me, and since it's a good feeling, I don't particulary want to lose that feeling.
I hope that you each have a Very Happy Holiday! And that you feel the Love and Warmth that the season can bring... if only you can Believe!
Let your Heart come alive, and be filled with Peach and Joy... all you've to do is look unto the Skies...
Happy Holidays to you and yours!

You are good people. Christmas is a hard time for me. But knowing that people like you exist always makes it better. God bless.
Enemy, on the contrary, it's people like "you" who make the world a better place... thinking people... deep thinking people... people who are not sheep... afterall, it's those who do not follow, but lead, who turn the Wheel... and make the world go round. Course, the worker bees count too, but they wouldn't know what to do without the Queen! Merry Christmas, Enemy... Beautiful Lady!
Happy Holidays dear lady. I wish you all the best!
*hugs*
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a year chock full of the magic, whispering, reminding us all year long, to believe....
Peace~love my friend, may it fill the skies
Milena, Happy Holidays to you, too, friend.
Singleton, I do hope your Christmas day is filled with Majic, Wonder & Peace!

Thank you for the lovely rose, Piktor... and I hope your Holiday has been filled with Majic, Wonder, Peace, Love & Joy!
I must confess that I'm not a big fan of Christmas. Not because it's so commercial, but because there is something disjointed about the original pagan traditions being blended so brutally with the Christian.
I think I'd like it better if we still celebrated it as the rebirth of sunlight to the earth. As it is, it feels as though something artificial has taken the celebration hostage.
I constantly feel coerced by Christmas. But I'm glad you can enjoy it.
Mystic, I hear ya. And I just watched this interesting little flic called Zeitgeist (can be found online for the viewing) which really blows things out of the water (but, more interesting than the first half, comparing various religious personages, was the latter half, regarding the powers that rule the world, by money... a must see)... harder, for me, than Christmas, is Thanksgiving, knowing what we came here and did to the Natives. I am a die-hard 'believe in majic' kinda person, however... and I refuse to let adult knowledge and commercialism steal that from me. No matter what it means to anyone else, to me it means a time of sharing and spreading of unconditional Love and Joy... and Peace... even if but for a moment, to feel those things. If we can't feel those things, then how can we feel... and share... of the wonder of the Universe, with anyone? As my companion frequently says, "I dunno... I just don't know." I hope the Love, Peace and Joy fairies sprinkle dust all around you, to help you bring in a New Year!
Dear Shimmerings,
You are just a lovely soul. I am in total agreement with you about the magic of the Christmas season...I usually feel that "Christmas spirit", but unfortunately, it escaped me this year due to what boils down to nothing more than money. And sadly, I get very bummed out once the 25th is over, because as fast as the season came (really fast...like right after halloween), it was done.
It's become all about commercialism, all about money, all about how much they can get us to buy. I remember when I was small, there would still be Christmas music playing after Christmas, during "Christmas week." We still visited with family and friends. Those days seem to be long gone.
What I really needed was some time alone with my tree and some Christmas music...that usually does it for me...but it just didn't seem to happen this year. I'm praying that next year, my life will be a little more organized, and I'll feel that special feeling that you speak of once again.
Hope your holidays were happy, and I'm sorry my visits to everyone have been scarce...I'm hoping to drop by again and catch up on the weekend!
Hello Dust Bunny,
Well, I haven't even had a real tree for several years. Not because I don't want, either. For the past 3 Christmases I've had a tiny little white fiber optic tree that sits on my table. But that's ok, at least I have that. And the Christmas music can play in my house for as long as I want it to. My mom still has the spirit, she even still leaves her tree up till after New Years... and she has the most fun decoratingn it. This year my nephew helped her. I think it is up to "us" to keep the tradition what it was when we were small, if we want the majic to remain alive. It seems, to me, that it's not Christmas that has gone away, but people's attitudes about it. And I don't know what to do about that. This was our first Christmas without our Dad... and that was weird... but we had his picture around. I didn't have much money, either, but our love was still there. It's been harder for me to drop down from big Christmases, than anything... but, that's not what the season is supposed to be all about. I hope your New Year is prosperous and bright!
I only dislike the commercialization of Christmas--the spirit of the holiday is sacred to me and always will be.
Hope yours was indeed a merry one.
And the picture on this post is a beauty. Great post.
Butterfly Bar, good, hold onto the Sacredness of the Season... it's what it's all about! And yeah, isn't that an awesome pic???
I'm still feelin' the peach and the joy, thank you, friend! Clink!
Me too, Sing. We just returned from an overnight trip to the lake house (the one I mentioned in my post with all the fall pics)... they still have their beautifully lit tree up, and all was peaceful and nice... we had badly needed rain all last week, and so the lake water level was back up and the geese were going nuts! It was a very nice way to start out the New Year :)
I love teh simplicity and divinity of Chritsmas - i really look forward to the music and teh simple yet lovely time of being with family and exchanging hearts and smiles. this is a great post - words and pictures. am so glad to pass by here!
Deli, thanks for dropping by and I hope you will return. Is always nice to know there is another who loves the simple joys of the season, as well.
