Presence is the Real Present
“He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.” – Roy L. Smith
“A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles.” – William Hazlitt
We spend several weeks preparing for Christmas – shopping, rushing, baking, cooking, more shopping, searching for the best presents.
As the day approaches and the preparations are complete, be present. Lay your daily burdens aside and celebrate your many blessings.
Unwrap each moment with family and friends with awe and delight. Discover the real gift of the season – your presence in the miracle of Christmas and in each day of your life.
Merry Christmas.

I love your blog. Happy holidays to you.
Thank you. Enjoy!
Lovely post. Thank you for the reminder to be present. The Christmas cards didn’t get sent out this year, but that’s okay because I was able to spend time watching movies and baking cookies with my kiddo. Now that was time well spent 🙂
Excellent choice of where to spend your time.
I hope you had a great Christmas!! Your pooch babies are sooo cute!!
A wonderful Christmas! Lots of time with the girls and other family and friends. Happy new year!
Thank you.
Thanks. Merry Christmas.
