It lies in the simplistic, the peaceful

In the careful grasps by little hands, on something much larger

In red cheeks, snowman and polar bear pajamas, and curious glances

It lies in the endless amounts of energy, fed off of parents excitement and children's wonder

It lies in the waiting, the patience of toddlers

The learning, and acknowledgment that you might never fully understand

The careful preparation

and finger licking execution of gifts for a jolly old man

It lies in all of us, always. It's Christmas. It's the birth of a baby. It's Santa and magic. Hope, joy and peace. Keep it with you.
Merry Christmas!
