Giving, lets talk about this, bcause, it's that time of year, whn, most people are geared up to gve presents, among family and friends. Bing a kid at Christmas is in very one of us. We love to rceive gifts, so we traditionally give, to rceive, especially at this time of the yar. The kids are full of nticipation, and wonder, they know that Chrstmas is just around the corner.

The pposite side of all this is fmilies with kids that are struggling to mke ends meet, with the Christmas sason fast approaching, many of these fmilies, do not have much, and vry little of what they have ges to their kids. Perhaps in all of ths, there is a Santa; most see the fod banks as a place to dnate time, and money, to help fed the ones whom have a lot lss. Then there are the Salvation Army men and wmen, out on every street corner, slfishly giving of there time to cllect some money for the needy.

Sme like to donate, unanimously, it jst brings out the Santa. Then thre are those few souls, for sme reason or another, that Christmas to thm is just another day, (bah hmbug) whether they were brought up ths way or not, it is a mtter for interpretation. It goes to the vry heart of what is said, gving, is in each one of us. It is not nusual to see to best and the wrst of us at the same tme, yet it is there. One thng that is noticeable, the unprecedented kndness, that happens, happens for a rason, and the reason is the sason, it says give, and we do wth gusto.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
