Description:
Welcome everyone. I am so glad you are here.
I love Christmas. I admit it. I love everything about Christmas time. I love the
cookies. I love the fire. I love the presents. I love the stockings. I love the tree. I
love the fudge. I love the lights. It's a great time for growing out the winter beard.
I love everything about it. I love the music. I love the carols and the hymns. I love
the kids.
And I love the spirit in the air at Christmas time. Wherever you go. There's
something that makes people want to be more kind . At Christmas, they want to
be more compassionate - more helpful - more generous. Donations go up all
around the world. Something that makes people want to grab others in from out of
the cold and help them, clothe them, feed them. And best of all, I think there's
something about Christmas that all of us sense - deep inside that says: something
big happened. And because of it, everything is going to be okay. And I love hot
chocolate.
But have you noticed, there's some people who would love to put a big wet
blanket on all of this. They don't want us to love Christmas so much, and celebrate
the way we do.
There's this one group over here hey, if you want to sing your songs and do your
stuff at Christmas-time, that's fine, just tone it down. Don't sing so loud. Right?
Just you take your private stuff and just keep it in your house. Don't let it spill out
into the public and bother the rest of us. Just keep it tucked in and private.
And then, there's this other group, over here, who's actually on the inside. Who's
telling us: You know, everything your doing, all this stuff - the images the
characters, the traditions, it's all wrong. It has nothing to do with Christmas. As a
matter of fact, you should just take all of that, wrap it up, and throw it out the
door, because it's all bad. You know? What are they going to do next? Tell us that
hot chocolate is bad for us? That the druids invented it?
So, what are we supposed to do? I mean, it can get pretty confusing. And all this
bickering is definitely not doing anything good for our kids.
Maybe, we need a word from the outside. A voice. Someone who can remind us of
the true meaning of Christmas. Because, maybe somewhere along the way, we lost
sight of the real story. Maybe we've got it wrong. Or maybe we're listening to
wrong people. Or, maybe, just maybe, someone like santa claus is actually on the
team?
