December of 2020 has shown itself to be a mental savior for the whole year of 2020. We all know how 2020 started and it seemed to go downhill, month after month. More bad news after more bad news. Now, here we are in the final days of December 2020.
The Holidays seem to have put us all in a Jollier mood. Despite all that we have gone through this year, we are grateful to have the Holidays, which gives us a sense of joy this time of year.
Standing in social distancing lines, we can still say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah or whatever we may find appropriate, depending on who we may be talking to.
Some are keeping their old traditions of putting up lights and decorating trees. The giving of gifts and feeding the homeless. All the holiday actions that give us that holiday attitude. Never realizing that the Holidays are so few and far between.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day. Of the 365 days, we take four days out of the year to show compassion to one another, to show love, to tell someone that we care, to say something nice. Four days, Four days! A Holiday attitude. Forget about the other 361 days.
Four days is enough, four days is all that we could bear to share A kind word, a gracious gesture or act of kindness. It is not a good thing to have only a Holiday attitude. Meaning to have a giving heart, a sharing spirit and a kind word for everyone for just four days out of the year.
We have to do better than this. The giving heart, the sharing spirit and the kind words should be 365 days 24/7. Let’s start 2021 with a giving heart, with a sharing spirit , kind words for everyone and I will guarantee that we will start 2021 off feeling much better about ourselves.
Smoke that over.

A worthy challenge. I accept!!
Agreed! If only we could rally a nation to create commercials, advertisements, special church sermons and street decorations that encourage that spirit of joy, gratitude and good will. Maybe that is what the good book was made to do.
