At this time of year,nearly everyone equates Christmas as the exchange of colorfully decorated boxes and bags. That is the commercial side of Christmas.Yes,old Ben Weaver was glad people bought gifts from his department store.Today,people have forgotten the reason for the season.I do hope you get that "gotta have it present". For my extended Mayberry family,I wish for you a much less glitzy,over the top Christmas.What I wish for you would exemplify the true meaning of Mayberry. For Christmas, I wish for you a day of ordinary miracles....a fresh pot of coffee you didn't have to make yourself... an unexpected phone call from an old friend...all green stoplights on your way to work...the fastest line at the grocery store...a good sing-a-long song on the radio...your keys right where you left them...for your pet to think you are the greatest...for your kids/grandkids to think you are the greatest...good health...good friends... good times. Want to know how wealthy you are?...count your blessings! Never take life for granted...today you could be living on Park Avenue...tomorrow you could be living on a park bench.
