For many years now, while out and about doing my shopping for Christmas gifts, I’ve picked up a few extra items. I pick up an extra blanket, some toasty slippers and a soft warm fleece top.

I stop at the front desk and ask the nurses for one or two residents that don’t have family or never have any visitors. (more…)
Dear Santa,

I’ve fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor’s office more than my own doctor, sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out — over several Christmases. (more…)
What happened to the Christmas that I loved so much? We celebrated the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It was to Him that we gave the presents on that wonderful day, Just rejoicing in Him and loving our family and friends. This was what I was taught and wonder where it got lost.
One of the “joys” of Christmas is “Toy Assembly 101.” Late Christmas Eve, you take “it” out of the box – whatever “it” is – read the so-called simple instructions ALWAYS including the magic words, “No assembly required” OR “Easy assembly instructions enclosed” and the fun begins! (more…)
