We Need a Little Christmas Right this very Moment

It has been so long since I have written anything.  I have a million thoughts in my head that bubble and brew  while I am driving or sitting in church listening to worship again or going out in the world where I haven’t been for months or sitting in my studio watching Hallmark movies and creating.  This is when feelings and revelations and thoughts merge in the creative side of my brain and if I don’t sit down and write it all down that very moment…the moment is gone.  I haven’t received many inspirational creative insights that I have felt would be worth sharing with the world (ok- my 25 followers) – lately.  
I am not going to harp on the fact that 2020 has been the weirdest year ever…oops,  I just did…but it has.  I don’t even know what to make of it.  Just when I think I have it kinda of sorted out….another curve ball comes right at me and down I go. I thought I was better at dodging that that.  But I am not as quick on my feet as I used to be.  I am also not very quick at changing tracks in my heart and mind either.  Its a very difficult thing.  I’m still searching for my sea legs. 
But here we are in November of 2020.  Interesting, how we thought the world was coming to an end twenty years ago on the stroke of midnight.  Interestingly enough,  it almost seemed like people were disappointed that none of the horrific predictions came true. After they hoarded generators and water and food.  Funny,  toilet paper was not on the hoarding list back then. Everything just went on as it always had.  Cars kept running.  Clocks kept running.  Household appliances kept running.  Electricity kept coming on.  Toilets kept flushing. Hospitals kept functioning.  Airplanes still lifted off the runways. 
But this!  What’s going on today.   THIS is a little more like what I think people were expecting on December 31 at 12:00am in the year 2000. We actually could never have imagined what we are going through now.  Now ‘they’ are trying to cancel Christmas.  That’s where I draw the line.  ‘They’ might make socializing with my family illegal and slap us with huge fines for loving to be with our family but that cannot stop Christmas in my heart.  And that is where Christmas is found anyway.  Just ask the Grinch.  Or Johnny Mathis….We need a little Christmas, right this very moment, We need a little Christmas NOW.
