Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. There's just something about the pretty colored lights sparkling on the tree and the homes in town that are decorated, all the hustle and bustle of baking and cooking, wrapping the presents and best of all, seeing it all through the eyes of a child.
The first gift of Christmas was a child...our little Lord Jesus and He is the reason for the season. The very first thing we set up in our home is the Nativity and I've often thought of leaving it out all year long, it's that special to me.
This year with the economy and so many out of work, there will be many sad children on Christmas morning. One of our newspapers runs a story about families that are really hurting and this breaks my heart. I know that we can't possibly help all of them, but we do what we can. Teach you children the Real meaning of Christmas and if you can at all, remember those who are less fortunate.
This year, the Lord has blessed us with having good sales on eBay, not a fortune by any means, but much better then in previous years. I believe in "giving back" and have been doing it for years, but this year, we will do even more to help brighten others holidays. Won't you consider doing the same in your area?
From our Home to yours;
Have a Safe and Very Merry Holiday Season!
Rita
