In this season of ensuring that we are politically correct, one must insure not to offend anyone in their holiday rituals or beliefs. So to anyone I forgot to mention, Happy Celebration of love, life and happiness.
I am a believer of Christmas and all the magic that it brings to children, adults, animals, etc. It is a time of giving, making sure other people are happy, as well as, lots of boisterous celebrations, lots of good food and time spent with loved ones. My family is big, loud and fun. Our children are cherished, loved and a little spoiled. The adults are educated and working. So, we are thankful for every blessing of a good life, good health and cherishing our every moment together.
Unfortunately, for far too many people, this is not the case. There are millions of homeless people, abused men, women, children and animals, as well as, untold poverty, war stricken countries and drug infested countries. Please take this time to give back a little to someone in need, a favorite charity, shelter, school, church, etc.
My family (children and adults) feeds the homeless the 4th Friday of each month at St. John's Church in Forest Park. We prepare the meal, serve the meal and talk to the 40 or so people that show up for a reprieve from the outside elements and a hot meal. It is the least we can do. We also collect and donate books, clothes, toys and volunteer around the city.
At this time, if you are fortunate enough to be celebrating, please take time out to drop off a toy at toy drive, visit a shelter and drop off toiletries and clothing for women/children/men in need. Find a way to give back in any way possible. Remember, no gesture is too small.
From my family to yours, Have a Happy whatever you celebrate and be thankful for all of your blessings. Here's to good health, happy live and wonderful family throughout 2011. Be kind to your neighbor, for you don't know what they are going through.
Peace and Love,
