Too Much, Too Little Christmas?

Christmas: a time of excess...

Too much food, too much drink.  Too many parties, too many relatives.  Too much money spent and too many useless gifts received.

But then...

A brightly lit tree viewed from a dark snowy lane; a cup of hot cocoa warming shivering hands; an old Christmas song filling the heart with joy; young faces dazzled by early morning treasures; old hearts thundering with love and pride for a house filled with thier kin, thier blood.

Christmas: it is enough.
