The Holiday Spirit

The Holidays are upon us and there are signs all around; the hustle and bustle of the stores and shopping centers, the holiday greetings that fill our mailboxes and brightly colored lights strung among branches and shrubs all remind us of the holiday season.

I also see the Salvation Army "bell-ringers" and I'm reminded that not everyone will have a "Happy Holiday".  Each of us knows someone in our lives who has had a difficult event or circumstance is 2011.  I say this not to lessen your holiday cheer, but to perhaps nudge you to give a little of YOU this holiday season.

A simple phone call, a pat on the back or a handwritten note can mean the world to those who may be struggling this year.  Even a simple smile can lift someones spirits.  It is better to give than to receive.  And there is no greater gift than you!  Happy, Happy, Merry, Merry!
