“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons.
It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

Whether you celebrate Christmas by embracing the birth of Jesus or whether Christmas means something different for you and your family, I wish you the very best Christmas you could possibly have! I encourage you to embrace you oneness with the Divine and with all humanity and look beyond the commercialization of this special time and embrace what this time really means for us all!
I encourage you to take a moment to read this blog post from one of my favorite spiritual teachers Marianne Williamson. In it she gives a beautiful perspective on the birth of the Christ. No matter what your faith and your belief I wish you a very Merry Christmas-whatever it means for you!
