The Hap- Happiest Season of All?
Christmas carols proclaim it a time of great rejoicing, seasonal songs deem it “the most wonderful time of the year,” but — amidst all of the general merriment and brouhaha, the spiked eggnog parties and the Chinese gift exchanges — there are many of us who find ourselves asking the question: Is this the hap, happiest season of all? Really?
At a time where it seems like everyone else is celebrating, where everyone’s life seems picture postcard perfect (and it’s proven to us in the syrupy greetings that coat our mailboxes), I must confess that I have felt like the loneliest person in the world, the one most removed from the joy and celebration happening around me. And I’ve found myself thinking, “If I hear one more cheery ‘Happy Holidays’ or ‘Ho Ho Ho’ I’m going to shove my Christmas tree up someone’s you-know-where.”
It is because of this that I would like to share today’s “A-Ha Space” post with you, written in the full awareness that sometimes Christmas can be the dark, darkest season of all … for many of us.
Please join me at The Calm Space today for my holiday wish for you: A Reason to Celebrate.
Much love,
