As tracks that lag behind each stride.
The days now passed stretch far and wide,
The calendar betrays the man
On Christmas Day, a child again!
(R Weisser 2012)
Christmas is a special time to me. It is the one day of the year in which the passage of time has no effect on the spirit of the celebration.
Christmas is NOT a one day event. It is an assemblage of all of the Christmases observed since the onset of reason. It is the one day of the year that it is impossible to separate from the past.
The older we get, the more we look back. Sometimes our reflections are bittersweet, but that does not diminish the satisfaction of reminiscing.
Christmas is one day frozen in time.
And this year will add to the cumulative collection of memories!
