I know a few folks for whom Christmas is a yearlong concern. My friends Linda Mook Scheid and Joe Murgel immediately pop to mind on this. I am pretty sure both of them could tell how many days are remaining until Christmas on most any given day.
They are definitely
not alone in living within the spirit of Christmas.
When Desiree
and I arrived home from our trip to Eastern Montana a bit after 7:00 Wednesday evening,
I noticed a shipping box on the landing outside the front door. After unloading our traveling goodies from the
car, I retrieved the package from the front door. “I’m not sure what this is,” I told Desiree,
“I thought everything I recently ordered came in.”
The package, I
soon discovered, contained a box within the shipping box. Inside the second box, I found a ceramic
Christmas tree.
One of the
papers accompanying tree the offered a message: “Welcome to Montana Desiree!” The paperwork also indicated that my friend
from grade school on, Sandi, sent the gift to Desiree.
I must admit,
Christmas on May, works in this instance.
Both Desiree and I beamed our best smiles after opening the gift.
Thank you,
Sandi Coyle Benson!
And—oh yes—Merry
Christmas!
Christmas in
May
