Christmas Eve…a good time to sit back with the lights all lit and glowing and reflect on the meaning of the season, along with the year that's gone by and what the new year will bring for each of us. Patty Rheault's tree and decorations sure are shining, even reflecting in the windows and mirrors, what a beautiful sight. For me there is just something special about turning off all the other lights and sitting amidst the glow of the Christmas lights each year.

Patty shared two outside photos from her Bootjack home, too, where you can see that the birds are busily flitting around partaking of the seeds she has left for them to enjoy. It looks like goldfinches on her feeder and they're doing a great job of decorating the outside of her home with live action. Again for me, it's one of those scenes that I can sit and watch those birds going to and fro, grabbing a seed and flying off, then coming back for more. I get lost in the rhythm of their feeder dance and before I know it, an hour has passed by.

It's good to have those kinds of moments in the hectic schedule of the day. It gives you time to reflect on the important things in your life. So do me a favor on this busy day before Christmas and take some time to watch the birds and/or sit and peacefully enjoy the lights of the season, while remembering the reason for this season.

My wife and I have always been bird watchers, so I especially like the bird pics. Birds add something special to this old guy's existence :°)

Thanks, Patty & Mary!
