RADIATE
HAPPINESS
At
this
time
of
year
most
people
radiate
happiness.
It
seems
to
come
naturally
to
them.
Others
find
it
more
difficult
to
take
on
the
Christmas
spirit
and
exude
joy.
Only
contact
with
others
who
bubble
over
with
friendliness
and
happiness
keeps
them
in
touch
with
the
season's
requirements.
:
This
is
the
time
to
eliminate!
the
grouch,
to
cleanse
the
mind
of
all
hard,
bitter
or
injurious
thoughts
by
breathing
in
the
Christmas
spirit.
This
is
the
season
dedicated
to
children
and
for
those
who
are
able
to
conform
to
the
requirements
of
childhood.
It
celebrates
the
birth
of
a
happy
child
with
a
happy
mother.
It
is
only
of
recent
years
that
people
have
realized
that
the
message
of
Christmas
was
one
of
joy
and
that
this
message
was
the
outstanding
theme
of
the
religion,
which
originated
with
the
birth
of
the
Christ
child
.
That
is
link
the
"Merry
Christmas"
why
we
so
often
up
with
the
"Happy
New
Year."
One
is
as
much
the
Christmas
theme
as
the
other.
To
have
perfect
joy
there
must
be
beauty,
I
harmony,
music,
laughter
of
children,
love,
peace,
understanding.
Today
we
think
only
of
j
the
joy
of
life.
Next
week
and
f
he
week
after
'
L-.11
Abcri'n
tn
realize
what
leads
up
i
to
that
perfect
joy
which
only
the
elect
can
verience.
It
is
difficult
to
find
joy
amid
sordid
neace
0
thP
forces
of
which
we
are
a
part.
V
So,
for
the
Christmas
message
today
may
We
suggest
that
we
study
the
important
things
in
life
and
devote
the
coming
year
to
cultivating
them
with
a
view
to
increasing
the
joy
of
each
successive
Christmas
season.
