December 12th ....... Christmas is just around the corner and I could not be happier. Although this season seems to rush in and fly by, I try to soak up every second of it I can.  There is something incredibly magical about Christmas season.  The combination of joy, love and giving is the perfect recipe for magic to happen. True a lot of people are caught up in the commercialized version of their CHristmas but those I choose to overlook, in a good way. I really don't see the need to focus on the sad nature of so many during a time that displays so much raw goodness. I love this time of year. People are more compelled to do random acts of kindness.  People donate their time and even their belongings. People sponsor families and go above and beyond to do something good. Christmas, Hanukkah and New Years all wrapped up in one. There is a lot of bad in the world I think we can all agree on this. But there is also so much good. Unfortunately our media does not in fact report wonderful beautiful stories they report on all the crime and horrible things going on. But that topic os for another day. Oh Christmas how I love the. The smell of a Christmas tree is pure delight. Even if I get to smell them only in the street as I walk through a tree lot. Seeing people hustle and bustle filled with excitement is really energizing. NYC was by far the most incredible place to experience Christmas. The entire city is like a scene in a snow globe. Magic and inspiration are as thick as the air. You can not escape it and you don't want to. A perfect combination. Merry Christmas!!!!!
