It's A Time Of Good WiLL

I went out this morning and how I came to realize that I have literally covered this city within photographs more than the average. Right now the weather here has been rather nice not that cold. I ended up taking a few pictures and then I had a lunch with a friend by the name of Jim as I have mentioned before. As well as his picture is here as well.

I could tell that he was tired. As I have known him for years I asked him why he was. Ironically his statment was, "we are getting older arent we?" Seems that all the buying things for his own family as well as other things have added up. I have not even started to buy anything mind you I don't have a family and I don't know what that stress would be like.

I find that this is the time of the year where there is way too much placed into the commercial side of Christmas. I have always wrapped my gifts in newspaper. Since I can remember and the card has always been that "Magic Touch" if you will and then the calls to those and from seems like on the "DAY", as an adult Rudolf does deliver.

As a single adult I don't place all this "commercialistic, buy it now not later" ads into that much. I used to oversee retail by way of shopping center development and there is one thing to giving a gift with purpose and another to having to give and buy gifts on credit cards - I think you know where I am going with this.

I see Christmas as the time where the meaning of giving. It threads within peace and as well it threads into those which are close to you and there is validation with the meaning between those of which we do deem as that of our own or that of close. I know exactly whom I am going to send or do something with online and/or offline. That is what I find the value within all of this. Up here within my parts where the predominant or what used to be the predominant ethnic group was that of the Ukranians. I am not sure where they stand now as there has been allot of immigration over the last four years. Yet....

I know where I am giving and it is a feel good in what you do in these areas. Santa is still alive and well as he resides within the the souls of each and everyone of us - even those which find they are rugged and tough - there is and always shall be a meaning within the holidays. Even within those which don't observe Christmas - over the years I have found that there has always been a certain something.

So as you prepare - never be within dispair as what Christmas is about is not as much within the giving but more so within the belief and choice of that you take with those whom you deem fit and have had some connection with - I guess online and offline.

Now this is the very same tonation or thoughts which I had while I handled several shopping centres for a company and ironically it never has changed.

 

It's all within good will.
