Seasonal Spirit

December 19, 2013 — 2 Comments

Memories, traditions, and the ghost of Christmas Past visit everyone this time of year. Sometimes it is sad to compare the reality of rushing, spending, gifting, and manic activity with an ideal celebration to honor this time.  Nostalgia for earlier times is not helpful in bringing about a better spirit of sharing now.  How can we contribute to a brighter, more uplifting celebration?

• Make and cook gifts
• Spend time just listening to those who need an ear
• Create more and buy less
• Find unusual and low impact ways to surprise others
• Recycle
