Christmas, it’s here already? is it me? Or does it seem to be just a little harder each year when Christmas rolls around. Not just the economics of the world, but the whole feeling of Christmas. It seems that people, myself included have perhaps, forgotten the meaning of Christmas. With each passing year, new technology has brought with it, more expensive gifts to chose from,with less money, these gifts are harder to obtain. Christmas should be about something much more than gifts.

I know the reason for the season in my heart, but I seem to have forgotten the little things that use to seem important. When my children were small, we would gather their old toys and take them to a shelter. We would offer the gift of ourselves, to help hand out meals to the homeless. Although, all my immediate family is gone, and I miss them, Christmas, and what is stands for, has seemed to escape me. My children are older, teens and a 20 year old, so the surprise and excitement isn’t there like it use to be.

My point…… remember others, those less fortunate. I read recently of a couple who hung out Christmas decorations two days ago and found them both dead yesterday. It seems the man killed her and then himself. It has been said from those near, they didn’t see it coming. They never knew there was a problem. People are in need, each and every day. As the holidays grow close, it is most hard on some. Please, if you are blessed this year with health, family, and even a tinge of happiness, there are some that are not. Seeing people in need and reaching out, maybe just saying hi, how are you, may be all they need to get through the holidays. A kind word and good deed, truly do go a long way. May everyone have a great Christmas, if your blessed……Pass it forward.
