Santa Claus brought Pop Pop the WABAC Machine for which I have yearned for so long and in lieu of writing anything new today (the fifty-two words of this paragraph notwithstanding), I used it to go back in time two years. The words remain relevant as does the sentiment they express.

So this is Christmas...
In this life of hardship and of earthly toil
We have need for anything that frees us
So I bid you pleasure
And I bid you cheer
From a heathen and a pagan
On the side of the rebel Jesus...
-Jackson Browne
So this is Christmas...
Wherever the dawning of Christmas Day finds you this year, do your level best to make it merry. If you shall spend even a small portion of today in the company of someone you love and who loves you right back and you shall do so with clothing on your back, a roof over your head, and food in your belly, then you have all the ingredients necessary for a Merry Christmas. Not everyone does. If you do, then Christmas is a cause for celebration, not lamentation.
Embrace the day. Live in the moment. Do not focus on what you do not have. Do not dwell on the fact that there is a loved one or loved ones with whom you may not spend today. Accentuate the positive.
Today is a day when each of us has the chance to be the richest person in town. It is up to us whether we take it.
Merry Christmas.
