What does Christmas mean to you?
Christmas has so many meanings. For some, it is a religious holiday and the
commercial side is distasteful. For others, it is a time to show love for our
families and friends by choosing the perfect gifts. For yet others, it is the
time when their commercial enterprise finally shows a profit! Unfortunately,
for some it is a time for regret and sadness, because they are unable to provide
even basic necessities for their families.
I choose to think of it as a time
for a little extra kindness and understanding. A time to show love for our families
and those around us by making a little extra effort - be it baking little sister's
favorite cookies, or volunteering some time at a food bank, or donating gifts to
those less fortunate, or merely smiling a little more and wishing good cheer to
all we meet.
The next step is to carry that feeling throughout the year...
Story Lover's Alert!
Christmas is also a time to pay homage to our ancestors and remember the love they shared. With that in mind, I offer you a story written by my Mother. She was always too busy caring for others to pursue a career in writing, but she always had the talent. She made up stories for my children until they got too old and were off playing with friends instead of helping Grandma bake cookies - and then she began to write them down.

The next one made me shed a tear or two, and it isn't exactly a Christmas story,
but if you've lost a loved one and are missing them this Christmas, I think you'll
love it. Here's the story entitled
Information Please.
If you believe, your heart will be warmed
when you read about George.
And if you're looking for love, try this short tale of a
