Love is what is in the room with you at Christmas,
If you take the time to stop opening presents ...
and just listen.
Listen to the sound of "oh, thank you Santa", as a child tears open that special gift he has been waiting for all year ...
Listen to the squeals of delight as a wife opens that special blue box and discovers that piece of sparkle or perhaps a new lens ...
Listen to the sound of "oh, that is just what i wanted" as Dad opens a box with yet another tie ...
Listen to the sound of tears as she opens to find a treasured family heirloom that has been passed down ...
Listen to the sound of laughter as that crazy gag gift gets open ...
Listen to the sound of music that fills the home ...
Listen to the sound of clatter as the dinner is being prepared ...
All these sounds and so much more are sounds of love.
Be present to hear the sounds of love surrounding you this holiday season.
Until next time,
NancyJean
