no puzzle

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

~Dr. Seuss

Only Dr Seuss can remind us so uniquely that Christmas is about so much more than gifts. Indulge me as I expound on his thoughts – and Dr Seuss, please forgive me!

Don’t puzzle and puzzle until your puzzler is sore.
Christmas is about so much more than gifts galore.
It is about more than just giving and receiving,
it’s about more than just coming and leaving,
it’s about more than just food and drink,
it’s about more than what your thinker can think.
So give your worn out puzzler some much needed rest
and let your thoughts fall on what is the best,
Jesus, for sure, is the bestest gift of all,
better than whatever you can find at that mall.
So don’t puzzle and puzzle till your puzzler is sore,
Christ is certainly the reason that Christmas is more.

Grace and peace,
Dr Deb
