My holiday wish for every one of us is that we each choose to fill our own experience with those attributes so that together we can create a shared world that's worthy of living in.

If you wrap yourself in a shawl and pull on fuzzy warm socks and find a comfy place to sit outside far away from manmade things if you don't see any person or say anything for a very long time and the only sounds you hear are the sounds you usually miss then gradually you remember that crazy wonderful inexplicable things are possible and are probably happening right now.
