It was the first Friday in November, and I was
still exhausted from the constant onslaught of negative news, when I saw
a Holiday Open House sign at a florist/gift shop. I decided I needed a
lift, so I pulled into the parking lot and walked into the store.
The minute I stepped into the warm cozy inside from the damp chilly
outside I could feel my stress melting away. "Jingle Bells" floated
gently through the air, snowmen, ornaments, bells, and other holiday
decorations and gifts peered out from every shelf, table, and tree.
A table laden with free hot cider, miniature muffins, and tiny
cookies lured me to that corner of the room. I sipped the cider, nibbled
a muffin (and then a cookie, I couldn't help myself), and the rancor of
the election year all but evaporated, replaced by the spirit of the
holiday season. I continued to sip and nibble as I browsed, and selected
a couple of small, charming gifts that I know will bring a smile to the
friends for which they were chosen.
