Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Dearly Beloved,

Grace and Peace to you.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I know it sounds late. But it's still actually Christmas— the 11th day. But on any day, why not wake up with the same expectation as on December 25th? Why not believe that wonderful gifts await you on this very day? The Beloved comes to you disguised as this day and says, “Unwrap me!”

On New Year's Eve you partied wildly and said goodbye to the past, and turned and welcomed the future with hope and joy. For a moment you wondered about the unknown. Why not do that every day? Will you miss this day, not bothering to look, because you thought you'd been here before? Every days is a new year's day. Every moment is a radical opening. Why not welcome it wildly?

Today—whatever day it is, a merry one to you! Open your presents! Happy New Year! Light your sparkler of hope!
