The Christmas Feeling
from The Satruday Evening Post
Christmas is a certain feeling. It is timeless, never quite absent any day of the year; but it quickens as the holly wreaths are hung and the gifts are prepared in the symbolism of love. At length it rises to the climax of the silent night, holy night. Then people gather in sacred places, where their mood is tender with candlelight and prayers and gentle hymns about the One who came upon a midnight clear. And in this openhearted moment He comes again, and people are flooded with a feeling He has always had about them. The feeling that no matter how imperfect people may be, deep inside their weeknesses and their errors is a yearning for perfection, an unquenchable brotherhood of goodness. What a hopeful, joyful, merry feeling it is!
