MERY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU.  I ALWAYS LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.  THERE IS SO MUCH PEACE AND CARING AND ATTENTION TO THOSE LESS FORTUNATE THAN OURSELVES.  I LOVE THE IDEA OF GIVING AND SHARING, AND PROBABLY MOST OF ALL, THE CHANCE TO SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  I FEEL SO BLESSED TO HAVE SO MANY LOVED ONES.  I HOPE THAT IN THIS SPIRIT OF GIVING AND REMEMBERING, THAT WE WILL REMEMBER THE REASON WE ARE CELEBRATING THIS SEASON.  ITS BEEN SAD TO SEE THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF CHRISTMAS TO TAKE THE FOCUS OFF THE REASON AND THE SPIRIT OF ITS TRUE ORIGIN.  I HOPE THAT AS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES CELEBRATED AND ENJOYED THE DAY AND THE SEASON ITSELF, THAT YOUR WERE REMINDED ONCE AGAIN OF OUR GREATEST GIFT.  THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOR IS THE ONE EVENT IN HISTORY THAT HAS BROUGHT SO MANY OF US SO MUCH JOY.  DESPITE THE NON BELIEVERS FORCING US TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT OUR FAITH, THIS IS STILL THE HOLIDAY IN WHICH WE CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH.  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL.  I HOPE THIS SEASON FOUND YOU ALL IN PEACE AND HAPPINESS.  I LOVE YOU ALL.  MERRY CHRISTMAS.
