Seasoned Greetings!

We've all heard the phrase “Senior Citizens.” A play on that is “Seasoned Citizens,” of which I am now a member. Those who are fortunate enough to have lived into their seventh decade, as I have, can look back on their lives and have many thoughts and memories. At this time of year, I reminisce about family, years past, people who have been in my life, and events that have helped shape who I am. Good memories. 

As my playlist weaves randomly through various songs in my “Christmas Favorites” collection, my thoughts go back to Christmas church events and family gatherings. The songs share the Gospel stories of the birth of Jesus, and what led up to the greatest events of all history. The gentle, sometimes powerful mixing of notes and chords with instruments and voices conveys the heart and soul of the Christmas season. 

Merry Christmas - especially if you revere the Lord Jesus Christ, the real star of this season. He's the Reason.

Also, Happy Holidays! No harm in saying that as well. The word “holiday” comes from “holy day.” The birth of Jesus was indeed a “holy day” in history. 

However you say it, Blessings to you all during this special time of year, and may you have and share good and blessed memories with others.
