And, so it is Christmas, and what have YOU done...

Christmas, the season, 2008. I am loading my iTunes with ever more Christmas music so I can stay wired for "sound" and always be in the real spirit of Christmas. I just played the part of "The Ghost of Christmas Present" in that ever Christmas Classic, *A Christmas Carol*, written by Charles Dickens. What a terrific way to slide early into the season. We issued an edict this year... NO GIFTS, unless they are "made". Goes both ways too, so I am busily "making" (well so far, "thinking" about what I "will be" making!) gifts for my kids. I read an article about someone who began saying "Hi" to everyone they saw, or made eye contact with, not just people this person knew and should be greeting anyway. I have been trying "that". Its amazing how cheerful people are. Sadly though, we have really dented the heads of children. Don't say "Hi" to a kid... you might get an umbrella whacking you on your noggin! Too bad we have so many creepy people in the world that make us live like this!? Anyway, this Christmas season, I invite us; you, me, everyone of us -to all to be a little more friendly. A little more caring and giving. A little more gift bearing to those in need. Read, "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matt 25:40)
