Christmas Season

With this new season upon us its easy to fall into habits of helpfulness and charity.

There are many different places you can go to around your own home town, or city, to give service. There are plenty of different ways to give service as well.

Check your local newspapers, or local websites, for more information.


Giving service can be more than just going out and working at a foodbank, or volunteering time. It can be driving a friend, taking a meal to someone in need, or hosting.

When given freely and without the intent of gain in return, service becomes something more meaningful. It becomes a gift to not only us, but those we serve as well. It becomes part of a cycle of giving and giving.

With this Christmas Season giving is essential. It is engrained into the days - engrained in the times. It is part of who we all are, to be of service to others. It is something that every one of us have deep inside of us. It's a basic act to want to serve others, to show the same compassion we were given when we were younger. It's something that takes us back to our childhood roots. Something that shows us the joy of the season.

No matter what religion we claim, the desire to do good is always there. All we have to do is act upon it.

Enjoy the season. Wish someone the greeting of the holiday you associate with most. Personally, I will be glad no matter what greeting you give.

Merry Christmas!
