Now that the holiday season is officially upon us, I hope we all
do our part to make a difference in the lives of others. Not with the "gimme this",
"gimme that", I want this", I want that" mentality. We need to decrease the materialism in our
kids and reinforce the real reason for the season. Don't get me wrong; I spoil my kids at
Christmas and anyone who knows me or has been to my house during the holidays
can attest to that. However, my kids
have also been taught from the day they were born the true meaning of
Christmas. It's not the actual gift that
matters but what's behind it that's important..........the spirit of giving.
The holidays are a special time and we should appreciate what we
are given because a lot of love and thought is put into it. Give from your heart; a smile or a hug can be
someone's greatest gift. There are so
many ways to spread happiness; just follow your heart and I bet it will be the
best holiday ever.
A lot of times we focus on the negatives in our lives. I've been there myself. Christmas is the best reason to think
positive and not allow the small things to get us down. It should be a time to enjoy those around us
and to take a step back and be thankful for what we do have.
My wish is that all of you have a happy,
healthy and safe holiday season!
