A friend of ours has two draft horses. They are beautiful animals, massive, about 2000 lbs each. He came by the other day and asked us if we wanted to go for a ride in the horse drawn carriage! He put on the christmas harnesses with the jingle bells! AND, AND they had made hot cocoa to drink on the way . He let our daughter who is 10 and takes riding lessons and is CRAZY about horses sit up on the bench where he stears the horses!!!! (not familiar with the actual terms) People actually stop their cars, to wish us happy holidays . But the best part is the smile on their faces. You can tell it just makes thier day and puts them in what should be the spirit of the season. Genuine happines.

Actually these fears are not unfounded. Random acts of kindness attract light .....and sometimes heat.
Well that was a happy thought :p

Just the idea of this season makes every day a blessing.
My son learned how to say Feliz Navi Dad to the lady that helps us out around the house for a few hours on Fri. so he could tell her Merry Christmas. Then he gave her a hug. He is diving into Christmas as strongly as Halloween (we are still listening to Nightmare Before though) and he still has his Jack necklace on.
That will make this year beyond anything I could have imagined in the past.
