Ghosts Of Christmas

The Ghosts Of Christmas: A Reflection Concerning Christmas Ghosts
Christmas season can be a magical time, one filled with spirits and ghosts. Why, Charles
Dicken's A Christmas Carol alone tells the story of three spirits: the ghosts of Christmas
past, present and future. Through looking at the ghosts of our past, Dickens seems to say
that we need to look at what we are doing in our present and consider how it will affect our
future. No need to be haunted by being thoughtless towards the rest of humanity.

And while we remember others, while putting
ourselves second for a bit, let us also
remember those of us who are in the unseen
realms. Christmas time, as well as other
seasons and days of celebration throughout
the year are times when loved ones who are
in Spirit should come to mind. Sometimes,
we may receive glimpses of unseen visitors
or perhaps sense their presence with us in
the ethereal realm. It is commonly taught that
spirits seldom miss a celebration, as they
check in on our lives from time to time. Let
us choose to welcome them openly.

As we reflect on those who might be with us during Christmas, take the time to examine
your photographs. Pay attention to your feelings. Notice coincidences. But above all
else, give to and love others. The spirit of love and giving is what Christmas time is about.
Enlightened spirits are all about love and charity. You can feel their embrace in the midst
of true Christmas spirit! Love all and embrace your oneness with humanity.

Also, be aware of
the less fortunate
and hurting
during the
Holiday Season,
whether they be
visible or not.

Ghosts are
around us,
observing us,
focusing on the
things which they
want so much to
be a part of.

Like many during the holidays, their emotional pain may be felt its deepest during the
Christmas season. Like Jacob Marley from Dicken's classic, they too might long to have
the chains they have forged lessened; their focus on the past likely causing some to feel
the burden of their mistakes. Let us learn from them and be forgiving.

Though some ghosts of Christmas feel
the love and joy we extend, others are
hurting and in need of love. Give them
time if you think of them. Speak openly to
the ghosts and spirits of Christmas
present, letting them know you care and
are aware of their visitation.

And should you discover you have
created some of your own ghosts that
haunt your memories, change your heart
for not only Christmas, but for the New
Year. There is no need to create more
ghosts of for the Holiday Season...
