Christmas is so multi-faceted that it encompasses many great things black girls like. It is a time of family and friends. It is a time of giving and receiving. It is a time to reflect on the birth of Christ. Yes, Christmas is all of these things. It is also a time of reflection on how you have lived in the previous 11 months without all of the pressure of New Year's Resolutions.
I am never one for resolutions or hollow proclamations - it's fine in 2009, things are great in 2008, etc. What exactly rhymes with ten anyway? lol
At least at Christmas, you can just feel love. If you are near family or abroad - just feel love. It travels through the atmosphere and reaches your heart. If you are estranged from someone, reach out to them. No rehash of past wrongdoings, just give love. Love melted the Grinch's heart. I am sure it can melt yours.
After all, the Christmas story tells us that God came down unto man as the baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. I am told that God IS love.
I send love to all of my readers on the Christmas Day. Don't worry, you can re-gift it. LOL
