Christmas Lights

   The lights are up at Alum Creek.  I noticed this driving home from picking up my son from his Band Concert.   One year they had placed the Christmas lights up so that they reflected off the water.  I drove over the Cheshire bridge that year with the van and let the kids look at them.  They were sure beautiful !
    With all the rush of the Holidays, its nice to take a moment and enjoy something that provokes such a feeling of nostalgia, Like being a child again.
     Sometimes it can provoke feelings of love and romance, sorta strange, like candlelight on a table in a dark at a intimate restaurant .     Home when its quiet and a fire is roaring in a fireplace while the night is very dark and cold.  Some kind of magical fantasy to escape to when everything else seems so hectic.
     I urge everyone just take a moment this Holiday Season  to hold the one you love just a little tighter, just to be lost within each other, just let the time slip away just for a few minutes and enjoy each other.  Being together is the most important reason and the best present to give to yourself and others!
