Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years.

We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Do you remember those Christmas Eve when you were younger? Tomorrow was going to be so amazing. New toys and treats. You could hardly sleep for excitement. Christmas was shiny and new. It was opportunity and adventure.

Nothing has changed.

Even though, there is so many things to do - last minute shopping, cooking a roast and all that washing up to do afterwards. But Christmas still holds the promise of something new for us as well as children. Christmas puts one year behind us, gives us a reason to appreciate what's good and invites us to dream about what could be even better tomorrow.

So, don't delay to appreciate. =)
