Maybe for any number of good reasons, you just haven't felt very Christmas~y yet. The encouragement offered you from the Child of Spells of the Forest of Enchantment Tarot (Page of Wands in a standard deck) is to just for this weekend (& beyond if you feel the desire!) think of something you REALLY loved doing every Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice...that maybe you haven't done for a long time. Maybe you stopped doing it because the holidays felt very sad one year (or several years), maybe you began to feel there was no time...But this thing, whatever it was, made you feel REALLY happy...it filled you with warmth. It's probably one of those things where you lose track of time because you're so lost in the joy of it. In this run~up to December's warm & bright festivities, give it a try. You may find that it kicks the holidays into high gear for you...or maybe it WILL be the highpoint of the holidays ~ but you will have given yourself several hours of your mind being eased & maybe being able to feel the magic of the season ~ the scent of pine trees, the bright twinkling lights all around us, the soft feeling of snow beneath our feet and the way it shimmers at night. Those sparkles in the snow are magic come to life & they only come about during these 3~months of the year (give or take!...and depending where you live, of course!) And sometimes they come a little early! That's what happened to me this year with the Rock `n' Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on its on~air date of November 19th. I'm a very Christmas~y person & seek out Christmas everywhere I go but for me the very most Christmas~y thing I've experienced this year is the
Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. It's 2~hours but goes by very fast, with one of the biggest reasons being the genuine love & affection between the inductees towards each other and just all~around. Several artists throughout the night mention the love that's in the room but it's not just a line like that sometimes can be. It's really true! I know that there was a dinner for all of the inductees the night before & you get the feeling they all really bonded. The way this joyful bunch of Duran Duran, Dolly Parton, Eurythmics, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Judas Priest, & numerous others, all get along & genuinely enjoy each other's company is the way I'm always wishing all artists could get along ~ and, of course, that very often does happen, but it's on particularly joyous display here, making the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony my new official kick~off to the holiday season! Maybe it will be yours, too...(Available for watching on HBO Max in America & through many attendees great personal videos on You Tube everywhere!) Whatever you turn your hands & heart to in this lead~up to all of the Warm & Joyous end~of~the~year celebrations, may it fill your heart with Wonder & Magic just like the Child of Spells I drew for all of us this morning. That bunny under his swirl of winter shimmer wasn't there just 5~minutes ago. Look out your window, look up to your rooftop, turn on the radio...I bet something magical's happened in your world, too, just in the time it took to read this. Merry Christmas🍃❤️🍃...
Love,
Jennifer ✨❄️✨
Thanks Jennifer - this will certainly make me think about the run-up to Christmas. This year, the last working week of 2022 crashes into Christmas - we're at work on Friday and then it's Christmas Eve. Maybe we don't give ourselevs enought time to think and prepare ourselves??
