Christmas Eve

Well, my wife and I have just put the finishing touches on this year's version of Santa and Mrs. Claus. It was really cool. Some of the presents that Santa got for our children are things that I really wanted when I was a kid, but for one reason or another (code language for lack of funds), was unable to get. So, when Mrs. Claus brought my seven year old Briana a drum set for Christmas, Santa almost woke the kids up "making sure that it worked." Christmas at our house always has a little magic happen. It may be getting a phone call from someone we have not heard from in some time, or some piece of good news that we were not expecting. In any case, it always had less to do with the presents under the tree and more to do with the idea that, even though it can be stressful, everyone has just a little more joy in their heart. Everyone thinks at least a little bit more about the next guy. If you take each of these intentions individually, you may not see the big picture. You will hear about the trips to the mall and the traffic and the expense and the constant shuttling to each required family destination. But, when all of those individual intentions are present amongst the people, the energy that is given off creates an actual vibration that is all going in the flow of the greater good. The flow is always there, but it is tuned in a little bit more at Christmas. The flow of the greater good is so vast that even this slight sharpening creates wonderment and magic. The flow of the greater good is described differently by different people, but no one can deny that if you have a great number of people holding the thought of love for each other in their hearts, things just work out better. So, our family is holding love in our hearts tonight and we extend that to you and yours.
