The true spirit of Christmas.


As we walk thru our lives so many times it is easy to forget about the true spirit of Christmas. Christmas is not about money, fame, shopping, presents but true love, peace, compassion and the giving of life, love, laughter and of ourselves.


I could not give you much but I can give you some of the beauty that I have seen and the talent God has given me thru the ability to capture a moment.


A time of serenity, peace and silence broken by the winds of change.


Any one can be a Santa Claus, even me. Being a Santa Claus doesn't mean the you have to have the hat, boots or even the sleigh but just a love and kindness toward your fellow man.


Yes, maybe a pinch of mystery doesn't hurt. We have forgotten that Christmas lives in all of us. We can share joy and love where ever we may go not just during the Holiday season but thru out the year!


A Christmas tree is such a beautiful thing but sometimes we have forgotten that the Christmas tree was the beginning of the  inevitable that it lead to the Cross on Golgotha where the ultimate gift was paid for us.


A lot of folks forget that the story doesn't end with the crucifix but extends far beyond that to life. As Winter shows the death of a season soon to explode into the beautiful life of Spring.



Remember, Christmas isn't about the presents but the giving of ourselves to our loved ones, our Country and our God. This can be monetary or in just giving of our time. When was the last time that you did something nice for a stranger? Let's take the Scrooge out of Christmas!
