Christmas can be such a mix of emotions- whether you are trying to do too much, or you are struggling with guilt because you aren’t doing enough, there is always something isn’t there?
One of my favorite Christmas movies is Elf, because Buddy just LOVES life, he doesn’t care what anybody else thinks, he is going to sing in the store to spread Christmas Cheer no matter what! This fun color brightened my day and put a smile on my face, much like Buddy when he encourages us to Sing Loud for All to Hear! I hope that you are able to take some time this busy season to sit in the joy of catching snowflakes as they fall from your needles. When the skies are dark and grey, just think of Buddy and smile, because Smiling’s my Favorite.
