By this time....some of you...have already completed your shopping, and putting up your trees and hanging your stockings. At least you have if you are celebrating with in the Christian tradition of the holiday of "Christmas."

We are always running around this time of year making sure "everyone" is taken care of�?that we sent cards or presents to those we need to acknowledge. It is a wonderful time of the year... for most, and a hardship for many others. It is also a time when many souls decided to leave this earth plane and go back home, sort of a portal.

When someone asked me ‘are you looking forward to Christmas,�? I am kind of confused.  I will say to them..."Well I guess". The reason for my confusion is that, I live Christmas every day, or at least try to. So to set one day aside a year...seems weird to me...why can't we live it everyday?

The origin of this holiday really goes back to pagan days, when us witches used to celebrate the "winter solstice". The days were shorter�?and one prepared for the New Year with crops, etc...

When the Christian religions got involved, they kind of blended the winter solstice with the birth of Christ. Christmas as most of you know is the celebration of the birth of Christ.

I say...."Yes" we are celebrating the birth of Christ...well, what does that mean?  In Christian traditions, it means we are celebrating the one who has come to save us from "sin."  Or savior. I personally look at it not from that point of view...but another.

Christmas is a reminder to me...of what it represents, and for that matter what the personality known as "Christ" represented, and actually why he came here on this earth plane to begin with.

Christ was a human form of a consciousness of oneness. Many have heard of the "Christ consciousness."

We look around us at this time of the year, and see LIGHTS hanging on trees on houses, on stores...WHY?? Lights represent a ‘newness�? an illumination as it were.  It LIGHTS up the DARKNESS, and shows us the way!

This is exactly what Christ was to demonstrate by his life.....how if one made the correct choices, they would be "enlightened", and  the darkness would be illuminated within them, they would see things with clarity and make the correct choices based on what they saw.

You too...if you are enlightened, can do this!

Celebrate the true meaning of Christmas...which is celebrating the LIGHT within you, and the LIGHT within OTHERS!!

The Master Teacher Jesus, was a perfect child of the Female and Male energy of the Universe, just as we are all perfect female-male energy..........yet most of us don't recognize it.

The Christ Consciousness...is a vibration of energy. It has been referred to as the "Higher-Self", or the "Over soul". It is that part of you that is pure higher vibration.

Each one of us has within them the direct channel to the HIGHEST vibrational range, within this illusionary world, and that is LOVE. LOVE..........is the highest vibratory rate. This was the energy that Jesus used and tuned into.  

Remember that He said..."These things that I do, you can do also." (By tuning in.....)

So, when we discuss what is the True Meaning of Christmas, I say it is the reminder that each one of us is the bearer of LOVE and that higher vibration, AND if we take away the fear and the illusion of this world (which death is a part)...you can live the true meaning of Christmas everyday!

Each time you send a card or give a gift or wish someone a Merry or Happy Christmas.... you are acknowledging their LIGHT, their Oneness, and in that, you are connected as One.

So Merry Christmas to you all, in the TRUE meaning of Christmas!!!
