Christmas Eve

Today is December 24th and inside of many homes is a Christmas tree, with gifts of all shapes and sizes piled underneath. That's right, there are boxes and boxes of all shapes and sizes, wrapped in brightly colored paper, adorned with lovely ribbons and bows, and containing some wonderful surprises. And in a couple of days, the boxes will all be gone, flattened and discarded, while the gifts within will remain for people to use, play with, benefit from or just plain enjoy.

We are sure there is a terrific metaphor in there somewhere, about tossing away the box and being better off. But since it is Christmas, we will leave that message for another time. So for now, just enjoy this moment with your family and friends. Have some fun, relax and let go for awhile. The world will very likely keep on spinning, even if you do step away from it for awhile.

From all of us at There is No Box, peace and joy to you and best wishes for a prosperous and rewarding New Year.
