Angel

An angel sits upon my treetop.

What is it that makes the holiday season special? Is it the magic of Santa? Or is it faith? A faith in ourselves and in the goodness of others? Faith in the meaning of Christmas beyond the commercial aspect. Is it the ability to feel the joy through the wonders of a child's delight?

Or is a combination of all those things. A belief in the unbelievable. So much we have trouble with. Believing in ourselves, the goodness we have in each of us. Believing that we are good enough and deserving of the richness that life has to offer. A richness that this holiday season abounds. Joyful singing, beautiful decorations, a magical belief, a spiritual connection, even the ability to give gifts that bring about joy and further the magic of Santa in a child's eye. It's all about belief.

If we carry with us a belief that we are not good enough as this season approaches, we feel it even deeper in all those twinkling lights, songs and even when we give. Some of us might even feel guilty for all that we have. Why, it's belief. Believe and have faith in yourself and allow the magic of the Christmas to warm your heart. Carry with you love and compassion and faith.
