christmas

part of the reason why i love christmas is the soundtrack. like fine mist, christmas carols permeate the radio stations, elevator music, toilet music, restaurants, and even public walkways.

love is in the air. if you ask me, christmas is a season of love. not so much for the presents or the mistletoe's hanky panky that kind of thing. it is generally just love. not only do couples come out more to soak in the christmassy atmosphere of the cities, the charities are driving out in full force.

giving and sharing presents. what we learn from christmas is doing things for others than yourself. love is shared liberally in this chrismas season.

and of course, the birth of a saviour. a saviour born into communion with the created, born to show the way, and born to die.

a tinge of melancholy, and plenty of beauty. that's christmas.
