Christmas is drawing near...is this a happy time for you?

Christmas has changed its meaning over the years.
When i was young I so loved Christmas morniing. Everyone was happy and we sang Christmas Carols as a family, and at church. My mom would play the piano, and we would all sing along, even Grandpa.
Today, many of the people I grew to love in our family, has gone.
This is a season of accepting what is, sometimes that is diffiucult for me and others in my family.
I find when you reach out and help others, you forget about your woes and worries.
Take time and do something nice for a neighbor. Volunteer at a local shelter, or charity event. There are so many people, that we can help brighten up there day with your smile, and a listening ear.
May you find the joy of giving this season, giving of your time, and smile can make a difference to the elder to the youth.

Santa Claus and Reindeer, Merry Christmas
