When was a child, I lay in bed Christmas Eve, wondering at the magic elf who'd deliver gifts that night.

When was a child, I lay in bed Christmas Eve, wondering at the magic elf who'd deliver gifts that night.

When I was a young man, I'd count down the seconds to welcome a new year.

Now, I'm old. Christmas is another day on the calendar, and midnight on December 31 is no different than the other 31,536,000 seconds in a year.

Magic comes from the care we have for one another, not calendars or myths. Create magic in 2026: The love you take is equal to the love you make.
