Not exactly the real meaning of Christmas. <\/p>\n<p>Of course we have lost so much of the real teachings of Jesus over the years. When I read his teachings the two principles that stand out are love and to judge not. What a different world this would be if more people did that. Judgment is so insidious. Even as I think about judging I start judging people for judging!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThe only way I know to move beyond it is to ask the angels for help seeing the world through their eyes, the eyes of love.<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\nsend all of you love and all the blessing of the season.
