Hello, Everyone! It’s August, a beautiful month with a royal name. As I write this post, I can see my gorgeous, evergreen Christmas wreath with beautiful ornaments and battery-operated lights, hanging on my office wall, just beyond my desk. I’ve kept it up, beyond December, the traditional season for such decor. Why do I have this evergreen wreath up, year-round, beyond December? I keep this evergreen wreath up because I enjoy focusing on the bliss of Christmas, year-round!
Yes, the traditional Christmas season is months away, yet many of us carry the Spirit of Christmas with us every day! Our daily lives have the presence of that uplifting, soothing ambiance because of Christ’s Spirit being with us. We have Emmanuel with us. (He’s also identified as the ‘God’, the ‘Universe’ & the ‘Creator’ of the universe, including humans.). Of course, having the Spirit of Christmas each day means we are kind and charitable at home, at work, in business, as we shop, as we run errands, as we dine out and in all other interactions daily, and every month. Consequently, living this way brings great joy to others and ourselves!
As in the traditional season/month of December, placing a beautifully-decorated Christmas tree or other evergreens such as a wreath or garland, on display, is a symbol of His ‘evergreen’, ever-present Spirit. This is why ‘Christmas All Year, It’s Ever Christmas’ resonates with so many people. We are enjoying ‘The Gift’ of Christ’s Spirit, all year, far over and beyond the delightful gifts we receive and give to each other. So, if you all have some form of Christmas decor displayed so that you (and others) can see it and enjoy it all year, we are kindred spirits in this!
” “Business!” cried the Ghost, wringing his hands again. “Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water
in the comprehensive ocean of my business!” “
~ Jacob Marley (Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, 1843).
“Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.”
~ Washington Irving
Gratitude
Hello, Everyone! ‘Followers’ thank-you for faithfully following this blog, as you have! When I started this ‘It’s Ever Christmas’ blog I intended it to be a way to reclaim celebrating Christmases that weren’t celebrated as beautifully and blissfully as I desired them to be. I can say that I’ve achieved that goal and more, thanks to you all! Just as with ‘Chaella’s Inspiration’, I didn’t expect to have ‘followers’, because I was simply creating gorgeous Christmases for myself, via this blog. Then, years ago now, I checked the ‘followers’ widgets for this blog, as well, and noticed the number. I was amazed to see so many of you ‘here’, loving the idea of ‘Christmas All Year’, like me! As with ‘Chaella’s Inspiration’, I marveled that you all found this blog, followed and remain! Similarly, since that day, I keep it going because you all are out there. My heart’s desire is that I can share with you all more beautiful and interesting content about Christmas weekly, if not daily, as life progresses. Again, thank-you! Additionally, I am grateful for every ‘Visitor’ too!
