The Christmas season is a time for love, a time for giving, and a time for sharing. It's a time for family gatherings and friendships renewed. We know there is strife in all corners of the world - we're reminded of it every time we watch the news. And sadly, there is often strife in our own family 'world.' However - if there was ever a perfect time to put strife aside and embrace love, Christmas-time is that time.
I would say the spirit of Christmas is best summed up in one word: Love.
To paraphrase an old Christmas song:
Where there is love, there is joy.
Where there is love, there is peace.
Where there is love, there is hope.
Where there is love, there is eternal optimism.
In The Twisted Climb series, Jayden's father loves her unconditionally - whether she is nice or even when she chooses to be a bully. Jayden's mother is not so loving. Her addictions and behaviors display what happens when there is NO love.
Though Christmas day is still a couple of weeks away, I would encourage all you readers to embrace your family, your loved ones and be the place where there is love.
With love,
J.C.
