It’s a few days before Christmas and throughout the property, all the animals seemed content, even the squirrels and mice. The cat and dog are cozy inside our house and there are many permanent residents in the yard, all of whom seem quite happy with their current state of being.
We humans can learn something from the furry companions we share this planet with. Christmas is about sharing peace and goodwill, being content with what you have, and sharing with others. It is about the generosity of heart and shedding light on the darkness. A favourite ball and a warm basket, a random pile of hazelnuts, or some quality time with a shiny silver bell might be all it takes to make a furry friend’s Christmas.
As much as the commercial engine wants us all to believe your loved ones need to be buried in the most expensive gifts this Christmas, the reality is that a few hours of your time may be the most valuable present of all. That is more true this year than ever in the last several decades.
My wish this season for all my friends, family, and coworkers is to be able to spend quality time with family. Share a nog, kick your feet up by the fire, and take in the peace that surrounds you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
