Joy to the world is more than a Christmas song, it is food for the soul.

No matter how many varieties of lights I see each Christmas season, I look forward to seeing them every year. From the lights in the stores to the lights at home, each one is beautiful to see and adds joy to our neighborhoods, our lives and the world. The magic of Christmas brightens our world for more than a day. The hope we feel, love we share and connections we all make add to the light of inspiration that fills every day with limitless possibilities. Onwards! +

May we rejoice the Christmas season, celebrating our joined quest for peace on earth and good will for all.

I love seeing Christmas displays with a sense of beauty and nostalgia, making me think of years gone by when, as children, we all look ahead to the day when we get to open presents, celebrate with family and see magic of the world, in our families and within ourselves. The love of gift-giving is everlasting. Christmas presents spark the light of inspiration within, encouraging us to think of others as we cherish the memories of gifts exchanged, smiles shared and joys felt. Onwards! +

Giving to others spreads joy in our lives and allows us to feel, and share, the spirit of Christmas.

I love seeing the many pets we have out and about during the Christmas season. The companions we choose are often the most joyful. As long as we keep our companions close, our days will be brighter and our shared journey will be merry. Our joyfully furry friends keep the spirit of Christmas burning bright in their hearts. Every smile, wag, purr and cuddle are the most cherished gifts they can give, just as our companionship, kindness and love brightens their lives. Onwards! +

Travel is often a challenge. Over the years, I’ve driven from Michigan to California, from California to and from Oregon and once again driven across the country from California to the Lone Star State. Each trip has had unique challenges. And despite the trials, I’ve found amazing sights along the way, discovering beauty in the most remote locations. During the Christmas season, I am always heartened to see friends and families coming together. It is always a special event when we can join one another in celebration, exchanging gifts and strengthening our bonds. Christmas brings us all together in many ways. When we travel for the holidays, we set aside time and distance, embracing loved ones, shared joys and the gift of family that we get to keep throughout the year. Onwards! +

When we celebrate the holidays with our best friends and close family, we create patience, kindness and beauty for one and all.

Each Christmas season when I go for a walk in a brightly lit neighborhood or decorated storefront, I always think of the beauty of the holiday. Christmas has a special place in my heart that makes me appreciate how we can all come together for the season, be it in our in our homes, our hearts or our thoughts. The beauty of Christmas never stops shining. Every ornament we hang or star we place is a guiding light to our hearts, inspiring us with the gift of love and joy we can share today, tomorrow and always. Onwards! +

The Christmas gifts we share from the love in our hearts spreads our Christmas spirit with the world.

Every year I love walking through the neighborhoods that have the most lights to see. Sometimes there are lines of people walking by, taking pictures, admiring the scenes and embracing the season. I love every opportunity to bring us all together through decorations, lights and the spirit of giving. Choosing lights for Christmas decorations is a joyous gift. Every light we add is an inspiring way to share our incredible spark of beauty for all to see, as we celebrate family, giving and love. Onwards! +

Christmas is part of our love for giving, love for each other and love for ourselves.

One of the best things I see every Christmas season is children excited to see Santa. The spirit of Christmas will always shine brightly in young hearts and I love seeing the special joy shared by young and old throughout this time of year. The greatest magic of the holidays is inside us all. Our belief in each other, belief in our dreams and belief in our life journey as we move forward to create better days and brighter tomorrows. Onwards! +

This Christmas season, may we all give to others with heartfelt kindness, deepest joy and everlasting love.

There are many amazing stores to shop during the holiday season that fill the hearts and minds of our children with happiness. My favorites always have sparkling lights and music that makes me think about celebrations that bring us together as friends, family and an ever-growing community. During the Christmas season, every store is an inspiration. The spirit of giving is held high with families encouraging both adults and children to chase their deepest hopes and greatest dreams together. Onwards! +

Christmas provides us with joy, light and peace we can embrace, cherish and share with the world.

The Christmas love we share, circles the globe and touches every heart.

Christmas is never old-fashioned. It is the eternal spirit of love, giving and kindness for you, me, and the world.

No matter how many times I go out for walks, I see amazing beauty everywhere I look; discovering inspiration in the flowers below or the sky above. May we all see the incredible sights that are a part of our lives as we embrace our hopes, follow our dreams, and live our greatest passions. We are all together as we walk our path forward.

When we receive a Christmas gift, the beautiful seeds of giving are planted in our hearts.

Birds have their own unique qualities and characteristics that are always interesting to see. Like the rest of us, they can show many personalities throughout the day, like their quiet and thoughtful sides or happy and playful personalities. I like to think we all have beautiful qualities that bring us together, making us part of nature, each other and the world. Only friends, family and personal connections can see our true beauty. When heartfelt hopes, lifelong dreams and ultimate passions are shared, the love and kindness we have inside is known, felt and appreciated. Onwards! +
