Clockwork Celebrations

Clockwork Celebrations

Some of us revel on special occasions. Of course, if we want to, we can paint the town red at any time.

  • We can have a fancy dinner too, even when it is not our birthday yet.
  • We can express gratitude toward our friends too, even when it is not a Thanksgiving day yet.
  • We can enjoy that Christmas carol too, even when it is not Christmas day yet.

Some feel happier to celebrate during special events. Others feel freer to celebrate whenever they want to.
