For most of us, the Christmas season is special,

• a welcome time of the year.

But I ask myself the question, Why?

• WHAT IS SO UNIQUE ABOUT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR!?

It is about the giving and receiving of gifts?

• Everyone seem to make an effort to give a gift to someone else
  • No doubt receiving a gift is a pleasant experience.
  • Giving a gift that brings joy to someone else
    • is also a beautiful thing.
• All this shopping for gifts mean more sales for businesses
  • which allows them
    • to hand out bonuses to workers
      • at Christmas.
  • Even without increased revenues,
  • Christmas is when businesses
    • make positive gestures
      • towards employees and the public.

Could it be the Bright and Warm Colors of the season?

• A lot of people put on
  • red, green or gold or other
  • bright and warm colors during this season.
• Many homes are decorated with multi colored Christmas lights
  • on the outside
  • and, with colorfully decorated ornaments
    • on the inside including on Christmas trees.
• Many stores and businesses 
  • make dramatic and colorful window displays.
  • On the inside, their products
    • are also beautifully arranged with Christmas decorations.
• The streets, and city centers in many areas around the world
  • are also impressively decorated.
• But the Christmas season is all this and more!

Could it be the Wonderful Sounds that fill the air?

• Lots of music and the sounds of bells and whistles
  • fill the air during this season.
• Christmas Carols tell the wonderful story
  • of the love of God and
  • of peace and goodwill towards all men.
• The sounds of the Christmas season evokes nostalgia
  • in the minds of adults
    • about innocent childhood days as well as
    • about simpler days and times;
      • when they looked forward to
        • Christmas gifts, toys, family, and fun.
  • But the Christmas season
    • is special for  all this and more;
    • more than just the sounds of love, joy, peace, and hope that fills the air!

Is it because of the Special Food we enjoy at this time of the year?

• Everyone goes out of their way to prepare special food and 
  • there is plenty of it
    • at Christmas time;
  • there is also a large variety of it
    • at Christmas time;
  • there is plenty of food and lots of variety
    • of very nice food
      • at Christmas time.
  • But the Christmas season is special
    • for more than lots of very fine food.

Is it the many celebrations, the events we get to attend?

• • Parties among friends and families,
  • nine lessons and carols;
  • special concerts and
  • sporting events etc.,
    • are all mostly very nice experiences.
• Even without a party to go to,
  • the streets have more people
    • out and about,
      • (shopping, dining, buying and selling, etc.
      • not to forget the traffic);
    • during the Christmas season
    • giving a special ‘event’ type feeling.
• This is good but Christmas season is special for much more!

All of the above,

• each have a part to play
  • in making the Christmas Season
    • SO VERY SPECIAL.

But together,

• the giving and receiving of gifts,
• the bright and warm colors,
• the sounds,
• the special and very fine food,
• the celebrations and special events;
  • combine to create a very powerful and positive vibe
    • in society.
• The season is special,
  • because together
    • they make it a season of GOOD WILL
      • wherever Christmas is celebrated!

And we

• (all of humanity, our families, our communities, our nation, our economies)
• need AT LEAST ONE SEASON OF GOOD WILL in each year!
