My Moment of Christmas Zen

So last Saturday night, I'm watching "Meet Me in St. Louis" on TCM. I was sitting on the sofa with my favorite cat, Moe, in my lap. We were at the the part of the movie where Judy Garland sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". My 2-year old grandson Zeke came into the room, climbed up next to me and snuggled under my arm just as Judy started singing. As I sat there and listened to the song with my grandson and my cat, I was struck by how perfect the moment was. It couldn't have been scripted to be more perfect. My moment of Christmas zen. And when the song was over, Zeke hopped down off the couch and went about his business of playing with his little cars. It's those little moments that make life so incredibly dear.
