The Spirit of Christmas

The Spirit of Christmas

Christmas has a unique spirit. The air tastes different. The songs are different and people treat each other differently. What makes this season so magical? The spirit of Christmas has the capacity to change men.

Charles Dickens in his A Christmas Carol said of Scrooge:

“Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have to have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind any way, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.”
