Christmas usually brings out the best in most of us, a time when we freely give of ourselves. A little ornament that sits on top of the gifts. I thought it would make a nice subject. If he were to be giving a speech, I believe he would be saying something like, "You all do so well at Christmas, sharing with others from your heart, enjoying time with family and friends, so now it is my heart's desire that you practice this same spirit of giving throughout the coming year, and then use Christmas as a day to reflect on the past year to understand how healing the true spirit of Christmas was meant to be."
I love the fact that you chose b/w for this. It makes the image seem much more timeless. I miss the magic of Christmas and the season. I don't have time to relish or really feel the magic of it because I'm so busy makin' stuff to sell at Market. I tell myself every year that I'm not going to miss the next Christmas like I did before...
I really like this shot. It makes me realize that it's nearly here and I should participate in the festivities and not just work for those who have the opportunity to participate. Thanks for this post. x Betsie
@eyesofbetsie Yes do, it is a time to enjoy, to slow down. We make it so busy that we lose the meaning. Thanks for your comment. I added something to my post after reading Maggiemae's comment.
