@FineLinen On occasion I have imagined that in heaven every day is Christmas.
I mean the sort of Christmas day that a five to ten year old might have.
The anticipation, the excitement, the "magic", if you will, that accompanies the day.
None of the hustle and bustle or anxiety that we might associate with a "bad" Christmas.
The specialness of the day. The warmth of togetherness, the festive decorations and dress, the gifts under the tree (if you go for that sort of thing), the smells of delicious food, the sound of laughter and greetings, hugs from relatives and reunions with cousins. The wonder and awe of the day.
Hard to say what it would really be like, or if I would really want to wake up every day to a Christmas celebration. It loses it's specialness when it becomes routine. One might want more, or something else instead of Christmas every day.
What's your take?
