Christmas shines with many facets. There are quiet moments, celebratory moments, moments of extraordinary happiness, festive merriment, and simple joy. There is preparation and planning, surprises to keep, and wishes to make true. And there are memories to be made that will shine and bring joy for years to come. At a time when there is so much to do and so much to celebrate, take time to savor the season and connect with all the things that make it so bright. This book is filled with thoughts to keep you close to the heart of the season. Read one reflection each day from December 1st to Christmas Day, like an advent calendar or choose the reflection that's right for the moment. Read one before a meal, when you wake, over tea, or at the end of a busy day. You'll find your own way to connect with these thoughts and to kindle a renewed appreciation for everything that Christmas means to you.
