Christmas Eve … the day before Christmas … the holiday still holds a special “magic” for me.

I still make Christmas wishes.  Unlike the wishes of my youth … wishes for tangible items like toys and ponies, my wishes now are for the intangible and altruistic.

If I could have one Christmas wish this year, it would be to have the ability to wipe away all the hurt my family and friends are experiencing.  Without going into any details, it’s been an incredibly hard year for several people very close to me.  If I could give each of these folks 24 hours of no hurt, no frustration, good health, no worry … what an incredible gift that would be!

Merry Christmas.  May your day be filled with blessings and joy.
