The Magic of Christmas - Brightening Other's Lives 

The joy of brightening other lives,
bearing each others' burdens,
easing other's loads
and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts
becomes for us the magic of Christmas.

A Wish of Christmas Spirit 

I wish we could put up
some of the Christmas spirit in jars
and open a jar of it every month.


Harlan Miller

Make Your Own Christmas Spirit Jar 

I realized after reading Harlan Miller's quote that it would be easy to create a jar of Christmas spirit to pass on as a gift to someone.

I put together another lens with several examples and simple directions to make your own Christmas Spirit Jar from supplies you probably even have at home.

You may want to make two Christmas Spirit Jars. One to keep and one to give away.

A Wish that Every Path May Lead to Peace 

What is Christmas?

It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.
It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal,
and that every path may lead to peace.
