Story-A-Day #44: Christmas Day


CHRISTMAS DAY

The gifts are all opened, tokens of a year's worth of highs and lows and moments of togetherness. Turkeys have been roasted and bellies filled with the delights of another festive season. All of the stresses and concerns that come with this time of year have been replaced with quiet content and a happiness in knowing that it all worked out.

It can seem like a lot at times, sometimes even too much. But when all is said and done, we are comforted by the warm embrace of family and friends. These are the people we do the things we do for. These are the people who help us through our days and give us the strength to stand for our convictions and ensure that we have done our best to do what is right and just.

The gifts we give are extravagant and simple and they are but towns for the feelings behind them. They are thoughtful trinkets that allow us to say thank you, I love you, I miss you.

This is a time for togetherness and comfort, a time where we can appreciate what it means to be surrounded by those who matter most.

This is Christmas Day and I am happy that we were able to share a bit of it together. Merry Christmas.
