Today is the first day of December -- my favorite month of the year! We are only twenty-four days away from Christmas! Lists have been made, and shopping has begun. Trees are being decorated, and stockings are being hung on mantles! It's the most wonderful time of the year! (Hey, that sounds like a song!!)
All of us love the presents and frivolity of the season -- of course! However, when we really think of the season, there is so much more. If we really look at our "needs" vs. our "wants," I would guess that there are few things that many of us really need. We have so much -- what more could we really need?
In our world, there is so much turmoil. There is so much stress. There is so much hurt. Wouldn't it be great, if we could just wrap up a present - a wish -- to make things go away. To make things better. To make things happier.
That is your quest for this blog response. If you could grant a Christmas wish for the world, what would it be? Wishes are "big-picture" things. Your wish must be realistic and wholesome, although maybe not truly possible. Your wish must make the world a better place.
So, what would your Christmas wish for the world be? Please write a minimum of four sentences for four extra credit points. This blog will close on Friday, 12/18. Merry Christmas to you all! Write on!
