As the Holidays draw near I am begining to notice the difference in people again.  I love this time of year, people tend to be nicer.  However, it also comes to my attention about those who are so very alone during this season.  I think of the older folks who's families have forgotten them, I think of the children who have been left, I think about the single people who have no one to go home to.  You know it's funny how people can act so "good" on the outside but be so alone on the inside.  Don't wait for someone to tell you they are alone, let them feel loved without asking....can you be that for someone?

The next thing that I notice is that I can't wait for the first snow, it can melt afterward (and I hope it does...lol) but the first is always special.  It seems almost magical to see the snow falling on a light Christmas tree.  It makes it feel like, well, Christmas.  I really don't care about the hustle and bustle, or Santa... but the moments like looking at a light Christmas tree with fresh snow falling and reflecting on what has been done for me, the sacrifice that was made and the love that it took...now that means something. 

I think one thing that we, as a people, have lost is the meaning of Christmas...it's not about presents.  And yes, I am going to say it, it's about Christ and the celebration of His life.  But it's also about love...it's about showing people that you care, not in what you buy them, but by the time you spend with them...by the thought that you put into things, by the laughter of sharing moments together.  Truly that is what Christmas is about....LOVING ONE ANOTHER!!  I really wish the "personalities" people have at Christmas would shine the whole year through...I think our world would be a much better place...Don't you?

Well, These are just some thoughts I have had, hope you enjoyed.
