MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Here's wishing a Merry Christmas to all.
When you are out and about today, remember the fascination with the fact that stores are CLOSED.
What a concept. This is the one time of year when darn near everything is closed down. And that in itself is something to wonder about.
Perhaps this is the only day of the year when that happens on a widespread basis. And it forces us to sit and be quiet and to stop the hustle and bustle until the holiday is too quickly over and past.
I wonder if you have thought about what would happen if dead loved one came through the door loaded with gifts and wishing you a Merry Christmas! Would you be shocked? Or would you realize that the miracle of Christ can make anything happen?
I wondered about that this holiday and felt how it would be wonderful to have that happen. And I guess that's really what Christmas is about. When the Christmas song, "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" mentions ghost stories, I always wondered why. Now I know.
Merry Christmas and now let's celebrate Chanukah and the other miracle of the season.
