Christmas Spirit

What is the Christmas spirit? If you ask, most people would tell you it's the gift of giving, of sharing. A time of forgiving. A time of peace and good will to all, celebrated throughout the world. It is turkey, eggnog, plum pudding, colored lights, and evergreens. A kiss under the mistletoe. Of cards exchanged with holiday wishes. Gifts for everyone on your list. And, Santa, the personification of Christmas, whose 8 tiny reindeer pull his sleigh through the night from house to house delivering gifts for children on Christmas Eve. Words, cats, a wee white mouse, wombats and Guinea pigs too, all bringing smiles to family, friends, for him and her, and don't forget the neighbor with best wishes for the holiday. May the spirit of Christmas be with you and yours. Original art/designs of Margaret Loftin Whiting.
