How many of you have ever been on a sleigh ride in Austria? Especially at Christmas time.
One can imagine the swishing of the runners sliding through the snow and the clopping of the beautiful horses.
The icy air hitting one's lungs and the steam off one's breath. The white, glistening snow and the very quiet of the world this encompassing scenes of nature offers.
There is no automobile exhaust, no televisions, no newscasters, no cell phones. Just quietness and fresh clear air to breathe.
This is what our Christmas carols are all about if we take the time to think about the words we sing so automatically every year. There is a real world out there that exists where the simplicity of life is to slow down, instead of going to the shopping malls to get"just one more gift.
Try to enjoy the season with family and friends around a fire sipping hot chocolate.
De-stress and enjoy the season, along with your imagination to take you to Austria if you wish!
