[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 223518, member: 3626"] As you all know, I'm a Christmas NUT. I truly love this holiday, always have, hopefully always will. To me, Christmas was never conditional on past behavior. Not even behavior 10 minutes ago. Christmas was a chance to show my love. Not just my love for my child but my love for our Lord, my friends, neighbors, strangers. I don't have much right now, so material things are out of the question. Heck, I couldn't even participate in the board's Xmas card exchange because of funds but trust me when I say my heart is with all of you. However, there are things I can do. I can use all my scraps of wool and make a cute hat and purse. I can use my fabric paints and make a special t-shirt for a friend. I can go Mickey D's and buy some gift certificates and give them to the homeless so they can at least have a cup of coffee. I can volunteer to help with the Salvation Army, the local food kitchen, SPCA, etc. To me, Christmas is more than just gifts or even forgiveness. It is a celebration of life. A time to thank our Lord for giving us his son. A time to thank those around us for their little acts of kindness. So, may this Christmas bring each and every one of us a little bit of joy regardless of our trials and tribulations. [/QUOTE]
