I promise to honor Christmas in my heart
and try to keep it all the year.
~ Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
This is my very favorite quote from one of my favorite stories of all time, A Christmas Carol.
Every year one of my holiday traditions is to see the North Shore Music Theatre musical production of A Christmas Carol. SometimesĀ I go alone, sometimes with my husband or a friend, and sometimes I take one or more of our grandchildren.
For me, the story embodies the true meaning of Christmas which is all about lovingĀ and giving. If I have to skip a year, I feel like something is missing from my holidays.
I made this SoulCollageĀ® card several years ago as a way to give image to how I feel about “the holidays” and what I love about Christmas.Ā I know I have to skip it this year because we’re in a worldwide pandemic right now and all theatres are closed. So I’m going to keep this card out on my altar throughout the holidays as a reminder.
