As I read about my friend's mom volunteering with the Salvation Army in the paper I am reminded of the reason for the holiday season! Sure, we stress over the perfect gifts to get for everyone and for a month tell our children that if they misbehave Santa may not come. But really the presents are just fluff which sometimes cloud the meaning of Christmas and we need to remember that present giving and recieving isn't what this season is all about.
It's about reconnecting with friends and family that we haven't seen in a while and enjoying their company, sharing a meal with them and being thankful for the time we have had with them on earth, all the while celebrating something that is much bigger than all of us - Jesus' birth.
May all who read this have a very Happy, Safe and Blessed Holiday Season!
