How many of you have been on a sleigh ride in Austria? I think it would be heavenly to experience something as to that nature especially at Christmas time. The snow is beautiful and clean and deep.
I just imagine the swish of the runners gliding in the snow and the clopping of the horses. The rest of the world has faded out of mind .
There is no automobile exhaust, no television, no newscasting, no cell phones. Just soft, quiet, glistening , white snow and the steam of one's breath from the clarity of the icy cold. Feeling the sting of the air that hits your lungs---how fresh it is.
This is what a lot of our Christmas carols talks about, but we never stop to imagine what we are singing, and to enjoy the simplicity of the Christmas season.
Since we are only a few days away, instead of the stress of buying and shopping in the mall, slow down and give some thoughts to the lucky ones who live the simplicity of the slow country pace, and to enjoy what each one of us already has, friends and family.
Then, go with your imagination to Austria!
