What an interesting new perspective. 🙂

How do we make this a year-long spirit instead of a seasonal one? I used to have some frustration with resolutions at the New Year because I looked at it as sort of wiping Christmas away — Christmas is over, let’s start fresh. Maybe that was a cynical approach. Ok, it was. People aren’t thinking that, but when Christmas is over each year, there seems to be a kind of sadness for me and people always seemed so ready to move on with their new goals. That morning while I was running, I realized that if we have the right spirit about it, it actually is quite appropriate to start fresh with new goals in mind for the New Year — in fact, that may be carrying on the true essence of Christmas (on some level anyway). How do we make this year-long and not have it fade only weeks later? I don’t know. But it’s my personal quest, I suppose, to figure out how to do that for myself this year.:)

But I love how here you have connected resolutions with the spirit of Christmas. So then I’m left with the age-old question in mind – how do we really (no, really) keep the Christmas spirit all year long? As you note, the fruits of it can be so good, but I think the fact that our umph often fades for resolutions only reiterates the fact that we need that spirit more in our lives all the time!

Thanks for the food for thought.
