Have you heard it?

It IS after all that time of year... but I am hearing it more this year than I have in the past couple of years, and I have to say, it makes me happy. 

Merry Christmas. 

People are saying it. Store clerks. Waiters. Bankers. 

Sure, some are still stuck on the happiness of the holiday, but I much prefer and feel so much warmer when I hear, "Merry Christmas," since Christmas is what we are inching towards, anyway. 

So to you I say it with much joy, anticipation, and truth, Merry Christmas!
