Have you ever noticed that children between the ages of two, to lets say about years old, have unbridled enthusiasm. They simply light up like Christmas trees when ever they noticed something going on. They frequently enjoy the box a gift came in more than the do the actual gift.
They try the box on, if they can fit into it. Exploring every little facet of the thing (yes this may involve destroying it in the process :-)). They are little learning machines, and it is obvious watching them they are having great deal of enjoyment. What was it Einstein said, and I may be paraphrasing here, "Genius is the rediscovery of childhood."
You know for me, I think that is the biggest lesson we can learn from the festive seasons. Simply the rediscovery of the joy found in finding something new.
This is been but a short entry on this blog, because sometimes it doesn't take a lot of words to remember what really is important. The joy in learning something new and approaching it with enthusiasm and curiosity.
