We plot out the days of gift planning, buying, wrapping, and labeling, but when was the last time you actually plotted out some time to let this special holiday enhance your spiritual being? If you are wrapping presents at midnight or later Christmas Eve, chances are you haven't allowed for any of the other "real" meanings of Christmas. The old gospel song says, "Count your many blessings..." but in order to enjoy the benefits of that exercise, one must plan it into the schedule. Without the planning, it is fairly certain it won't happen.
This year's new and popular song the "12 Pains of Christmas," demonstrates just how desperate our holiday has become.
It seems to be quite popular on the radio and is initially funny, but ultimately is really quite sad because it speaks of a growing truth. At the very least we must get the 12 Pains out of the way in time to reflect on the blessings of Christmas and perhaps even do some family functions together on the two main days--Christmas Eve and Day. Meditate on your blessings as a family or take your talents "on the road" to a nursing home or the home of one who lives alone and is without family--where your talents will be fully appreciated; and please don't tell me that your family has no talents! Do you bake, do you do crafts, wood working, metal working, singing, instrumentals. Do you paint, sculpt, make anything that, although meaningless, is cute and could be enjoyed on some level.
Uplift your soul by keeping Christmas meaningful well beyond the hassles--and plan to share it--with each other as a family or reaching out to others. Do it at least one if not two of the days in your Christmas Season.

12 PAINS OF CHRISTMAS
The first thing at Christmas,
That's such a pain to me:
Is finding a Christmas tree,
The second thing at Christmas,
That's such a pain to me:
rigging up the lights,
and finding a Christmas tree,
The third thing at Christmas
That's such a pain to me:
hangovers, rigging up the lights
and finding a Christmas tree,
The fourth thing at Christmas,
That's such a pain to me:
sending Christmas cards,
hangovers, rigging up the lights
and finding a Christmas tree
The fifth thing at Christmas
That's such a pain to me:
Five month of bills,
sending Christmas cards,
hangovers, rigging up the lights
and finding a Christmas tree
The sixth thing at Christmas
That's such a pain to me:
Facing my in-laws,
five months of bills,
I hate those Christmas cards,
hangovers, rigging up these lights
and finding a Christmas tree,
The seventh thing at Christmas,
that's such a pain to me:
the Salvation Army, facing my in-laws,
five months of bills, sending Christmas cards,
ohhh geeez, I'm tryin to rig up these lights
and finding a Christmas tree
The eighth thing at Christmas,
that's such a pain to me:
(kids voice) I want a transformer for Christmas,
Charities and what do you mean your in-laws?
five months of bills, uh makin up these cards,
please get me a beer huh,
what we have no extension cords?
and finding a Christmas tree,
The ninth thing at Christmas
that's such a pain to me:
finding parking spaces,
(kid) daddy I want some candy,
donations, facing my in-laws
five months of bills,
writing out those Christmas cards,
hangovers, now why the hell are they blinking?
and finding a Christmas tree,
The tenth thing at Christmas
That's such a pain to me:
Batteries not included, no parking spaces,
(kid) buy me something, get a job you bum,
facing my in-laws, five months of bills,
yo-ho sending Christmas cards,
oh-geez look at this,
one light goes out they all go out,
and finding a Christmas tree,
The eleventh thing at Christmas
That's such a pain to me:
Stale T.V. specials, batteries not included,
no parking spaces
(kid) mum I gotta go bathroom,
charites, she's a witch I hate her,
five months of bills,
i dont even know half these people,
oh who has the toilet paper,
turn the flashlight on I blew a fuse
and finding a Christmas tree,
The twelfth thing at Christmas
that's such a pain to me:
singing Christmas carols, stale T.V. specials,
batteries not included, no parking,
(kid crying), charities, gonna make em dinner,
five months of bills,
I'm not sending em mister that's it,
shut up you, you're so smart you rig up the lights
and finding a christmas tree.
