Do you sprinkle magic into your own life? Where you "receive" rather than "give"? There is one small mall that is decorated beautifully at Christmas. They have someone playing a grand piano in the late afternoons/early evenings , only at Christmastime. . The shops are really much too expensive for me. (Which is probably why they can afford the beautiful, miles-of-Christmas-greens-and-tiny=white=lights decorations!)
I go there and walk around. I buy an expensive hot chocolate and get my parking ticket stamped. I sit near the grand piano and listen to the beautiful Christmas music. Depending on my husbands' work schedule, sometimes he goes also. It is lovely.
There is another, larger mall that my husband really enjoys at Christmastime. I go with him because he likes to shop there - and see those decorations. I get tired long before he does, and my shopping is done by then, so I stake out a table in the food court and drink coffee and read a newspaper. When he is finished shopping, we have lunch. It is nice. He enjoys it more than I do - but I enjoy it plenty!!!
Are you giving yourself some magic this Christmas?
