Shiny Red Nose

The best part about the Holiday season for me as a kid was the return of my favorite Christmas character, Rudolph.
I never understood at the time why he was my favorite character, but I know now….

He speaks to all of us – parts of us that are vulnerable, feel not good enough or feelings of just trying to ‘fit in.’
As a kid he gave me some comfort that I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.

Now as an adult, I sit and look at my Lenox Rudolph ornament hanging so sweetly on my three foot tree and I think how in the Christmas special ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’ his shiny red nose was the light that saw everyone through the storm.

Perhaps we can all learn something from that.
Perhaps our own light can shine brightly and show us the way through the storms of our own life.
