Christmas is the time of year when you feel more positive about life, when you focus on simple joys, such as spending quality time with your family, sitting by a fire, eating brunch on Christmas Day, and watching your niece open her first present. 

You also feel less cynical. Even as an adult, you may no longer believe in Santa Claus, but you still feel a hint of the Christmas magic; that life isn’t just about punching the clock, paying taxes, and retiring to a nursing home. 

This feeling should be embraced all year round, not only during the Christmas season.........
