Christmas is not just a day, it is a FEELing. You don't even have to be religious to FEEL it. I stopped buying Christmas "gifts" a long time ago. I think that surprises people who know me. It is my anti-commercialism "protest" or maybe I am just a Scrooge :0), you decide. Either way, I still FEEL Christmas every year. Some years I FEEL less than others depending on things waying on my mind, and I am sure many people FEEL Christmas differently depending on what they are going thru. The point is you can still FEEL it!
That is not to take away from your sadness and sorrows. Those are important emotions that we all must FEEL at times. I believe sadness and sorrow are almost as important as joy and peace. Without FEELing those two things, we can never truly appreciate what joy and peace FEEL like. As this Christmas season comes and goes, I hope you FEEL more peace and joy than you do sadness and sorrow. Allow yourself to FEEL sadness and sorrow, just don't keep peace and joy from coming in to the season and ultimately into your heart.
