make it bright

The gray skies of winter can seem so merciless and bleak. But Christmas has a way to make everything bright. Just remember the magic of Christmas when it feels like no end to the winter darkness is in sight. Take a look at the sky, and you'll see that the stars shine a little brighter. And the holiday lights set everything aglow to make the holes in your heart a little tighter. The world has been frosted with silver and white to enliven the days, and fend off the darkness of the night. It's God's way of reminding you to have faith that all is fine, that all is right. You have nothing to fear, and you should never lose hope when December's darkness calls, when the snow endlessly falls, because the Christmastide is here to steal the stage from the winter drear. Let it be a season of love, a time of cheer, because no days are as bright as those made radiant by Christmas light.
