Today is our Canadian Christmas with our older kids, grandkids, and my mom. Doing my usual last minute shopping, I find myself humming along to Christamas carols and exuberantly wishing store employees "Merry Christmas". It isn't until I've had a number of indulgent responses (wow, some people are really into this, aren't they...) that I realize not everyone is celebrating Christmas today. Maybe I'm a bit ahead of "the season' but this year, more than others perhaps, I realize the true meaning of Christmas is the gift of love freely given to us all, and sharing it with those we love makes that gift so much richer.
