Super excited.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>That time of the year!<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Everybody loves Christmas. OK, maybe that&#8217;s a little over the top. Not everybody, majority of people. But, really who wouldn&#8217;t love Christmas?<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>It&#8217;s an awesome season. It&#8217;s got its own special weather. The calm, the quiet, the euphoria, so what&#8217;s there not to love?<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Christmas gives birth to a new day, a new dawn, a new life, a new hope, a new reason to look forward to the coming year. I feel good about Christmas. Well, who wouldn&#8217;t feel good to be alive and celebrate a remarkable end of year?<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>It is believed that the son of God who is reverenced by almost all of mankind was born on Christmas day.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>On this day, a child is born.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>On this day, a son is given.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>And this time of the year has been set aside not only to celebrate His birth, but to celebrate life, family, achievements.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>This period gives birth to different festivities, different celebrations and every culture has something remarkable to do during this time.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Something that&#8217;s not occasionally done, an event that keeps people giddy with anticipation.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The joy of the season is priceless!<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Having something worthwhile to mark the remaining days of the year is brilliant to say the least.<br \/>For most, Christmas is the only time they have in the year to hook up with loved ones, family and friends. What greater joy is there?<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Most people don&#8217;t celebrate Christmas, or stopped because something tragic happened to them during this time. I know sometimes, things happen that make us lose every atom of care we once owned and live as though we aren&#8217;t living.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>I&#8217;m not oblivious to the soothing relief that comes from some memories no matter how painful, but it really is time to let go&#8230; Let go of the weight. Let go of the burden, the sorrow.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>I&#8217;m not asking you to let go of the memory, I&#8217;m asking you to let go of the hate and anger.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>It&#8217;s time to hold on and move on. It&#8217;s time to open up your heart and let love seep through.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>It&#8217;s time to partake in the blessings that come with this season. Because, trust me, it&#8217;s a whole lot!<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Give this Christmas season away. Don&#8217;t hold on to that love. Put a smile on someone&#8217;s face and watch this Christmas unfold into something beautiful.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Make someone happier this season by giving just a piece of your heart. It doesn&#8217;t have to be too much. A warm smile can actually do the trick.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Forget about all the reasons you think celebrating this season isn&#8217;t worth it, and think of the one reason why it is.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Remember, the worst thing that happened to you may be the best if you don&#8217;t let it get the best of you. Return some spark into your life. O yes, you can.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The joy of the season is there for the taking. It doesn&#8217;t matter where you spend it, or whom you spend it with.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Show love to someone this season, and experience first-hand the miracle of love and it&#8217;s endless wonders!<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>MERRY CHRISTMAS&#8230;<\/font><\/div>\n<hr style=\"width:100%;clear:both\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lisetta Woluchem\u00a0That time of the year when you can&#8217;t help but pray to avoid tragedy.\u00a0That time of the year when you can&#8217;t help but feel giddy with joy.\u00a0That time of the year when you&#8217;re&#8230;..aargh!
