time of the year!
But Why?
T
he holiday season is now upon us, and for
some of us it will instantly become the most
wonderful time of the year. It would not be
fair to say it will be that way for everyone because
even Lincoln Daily News has at least one or two
holiday curmudgeons who would rather say “Bah
Humbug” than “We wish you a Merry Christmas.”
But that’s another story for another time!
For many of us, it is a time of joy, a time of
celebrating, giving, getting, and being more
generous with our dollars as well as our hearts.
But, if you asked ten people why the days between
Thanksgiving and New Year’s are the “Most
wonderful time of the year,” you would probably
get ten different answers.
For some, it is the decorations. Who can help but
smile and feel warm inside when the tree is put
up, and the lights are lit - the poinsettias sit by
the front door; the dining room table is adorned
with evergreens and candles - the wreath hangs
on the front door, and the stockings hang over the
fireplace. Someone recently said that Christmas
decorations are our gift to ourselves, to warm
our hearts and feed our soul with the spirit of the
holiday.
When asked, surely several will say that the best
thing about this time of year is the food! Who can
deny the fun of fudge, and Christmas cookies?
Who can resist the aroma of a fat turkey in the
oven or freshly baked bread on the table? Food
It’s the most wonderful
