I have decorated my little corner of the workplace with some green boughs, some holly and a little sparkle from a garland that wraps around the boughs. I have also taken to playing Christmas music on the occasion that I think of it.
One too many comments of "Isn't it a little early??? you're playing Christmas music...."
Okay, Folks, here is the scoop.
We NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS ....right this very minute!!
There are enough reasons to grump about stuff, but putting up a little evergreen boughs isn't one of them! Playing some songs that speak of the joy and happiness that comes together with faith, family and God willing a little extra food for a holiday....cannot be a bad thing! Quiet down on the too early for Christmas stuff.....we need it all year long....it isn't about the hustle and bustle of the streets full of shoppers, it's about the Spirit of the time of year. The sharing, giving and the hope that is wrapped up in a Saviour! If my dressing up my corner with evergreen and holly, if my putting on hot chocolate so as you can sniff that wonderful aroma when you pass by, if the sound of sweet music puts you in a green suit and your fingers become elongated, you might wanna check in the mirror for the GRINCH is surely lurking about somewhere in there.
Its a time of joy, happiness and laughter, a time of friends and family and caring.......having it at the workplace, considering I spend most of my day there......is a good place to stretch out one's joy, peace and love to co-workers.
I think I am doing the right thing.....now, I just have to convince the rest of the staff!!
Today, as I looked out the window in our staff room just before I left work, I thought it seemed as though we were living in a snowglobe and someone had given us a shake. Happily, the bus was on time, I walked down a quiet street and the snow swirled about me.....it was quiet, sweet and chilly enough to redden my cheeks and nose.....it felt wonderful!!! I love this place!!
