What is it about this time of year that makes people like me want to wax eloquent? I think it's the spirit of the season. Today, while I was completing my annual wait until the absolute last minute shopping, every single person seemed to be in good spirits. A Merry Christmas here. A Have a Great Christmas there. And, even the pc Happy Holidays makes one feel better.
For a brief period of time we get to be with the ones that mean the most. And we can forget about the insanity in the world and the idiots that run our country right here at home. Plus, we get to open a present or two and see the utter magic of Christmas when the kids remind us that the love of Christmas has managed to endure because kids are always a joy - well, not always.
Well, guess what? I still dream like all the time, you know what I mean?. My bucket list keeps growing. The serendipity of life always amazes and changes us, if we let it. Like the song says - for kids from 1 to 92, Christmas is for dreamers. If you don't believe it, just set a spell and watch It's A Wonderful Life or Miracle On 34th Street. If those don't get you dreaming, that's on you my fellow nomad.

I truly hope this Christmas brings you the dreams of your heart. Please enjoy today's song and video as George Michael presents the beautiful and poignant December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas).
And just to show my fellow nomads that this dreaming thing is for real, here is the final scene from It's A Wonderful Life, when George realizes that his life does, indeed , have meaning. In fact, I think I am going to go watch it right now.
Merry Christmas - Do You Hear the Bells? Clarence Just Got His Wings- God Bless!
