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!
