Yes - it's sort of like driving by and watching all the Christmas tree lots packed up and gone and everyone sort of goes back to their lives before hand.
It's sort of sad that we can't be like that all year round - but maybe if we start with ourselves we can start to make a change.
Hi Roberta! The Christmas tree and decorations can move out quickly, just like the circus trappings. The spirit doesn't need to. It'd be boring to have the circus always around, and the vacant lot or field where it sets up would get pretty yucky. But if you love the circus, you remember all year how great it was and you anticipate its return. Same for Christmas! Plus which, sometimes that tree hangs on a while... Brad
