It's Christmas! Adding the finishing touches to the Christmas tree, exchanging gifts, playing Secret Santa, last minute shopping... The excitement is visible on the streets. everyone's got a spring in their step.
Being young all over again, lingering memories of childhood Christmas celebrations, umpteen X'Mas special cartoons, new clothes, delicious plum cakes and wine, lunch with the family....
But it has changed. Things seem different now. It is not the same anymore. Or have I changed? Or has the world around me changed?
I miss the spirit! There is a lack of fervor, of passion, of wanting to snuggle into bed waiting for Santa to come visiting through the chimney (I don't have a chimney. I can leave the door open though and make it a little easier for him).
Today, Christmas is just another holiday. Of a small break in between going through our lives, busy or otherwise.
