It is sometimes hard to believe, but we are at the final Christmas countdown! Only ten days before we are gathered with our families around the tree, filled with lights, tinsel, ornaments and childhood memories, and stuffed with gifts wrapped up in colorfully festive paper under that wondrous tree.
For the first time in a very long time, My whole family will reunite on December 24th, barring any unforeseen problems getting there. It is quite special when I think of the fact that 4 generation will be under one roof.
Those of us who are fortunate enough to be with loved ones on Christmas, will surely be filled with the joy and spirit of the season. But what of those who are less than fortunate? What of those who will feel alone on Christmas day? I am not trying to put a damper on what is obviously, the most wonderful time of the year, but I cannot help but have a thought and a prayer for the underprivileged over the next ten days , I especially am thinking of the children. Let us all try to give in some way the gift of hope to those who feel they have so little of. Everyone deserves to have a happy holiday, somewhat free from everyday worries.
