There is something magical that comes along with Christmas. It starts when you are a little kid and suprisingly, doesn't go away as you get older. Sure you figure out that Santa Clause isn't real, and that Rudolph and the 7 reindeer don't land on your roof- top on Christmas Eve. Yet even so, Christmas still feels magical. Maybe it's the lights that make houses shine like the North Star. Or the Christmas Tree covered in ornaments from years past. Or the wonderful carols that follow you everywhere you go, brightening your spirit and giving you hope. Maybe it is the church service on Christmas Eve when everyone sings "Silent Night" while holding candles, celebrating the birth of Jesus. And you certainly can't have Christmas without the bitter cold wind that "nips at your nose" while you keep warm with hot apple cider and hot chocolate! All of these traditions make Christmas the most-anticipated time of year. The Christmas Spirit is something no one can ignore, with the exception of the Grinch, and spreads cheer with each heart it infects. The undeniable innocence that the spirit carries may just be the most infectous symptom. Any way you look at it, Christmas is the "Most wonderful time of the year!"
