Oh it is Christmas! I can hear the Christmas carols and the old familiar tunes ringing in my ears. The malls of America are packed with shoppers, shopping; the smell of cinnamon buns, favorite holiday scents and spices in the air; the Salvation Army bells are ringing (with a credit card machine hanging from the kettle)...oh yes, it is Christmas alright....
This has been a tough year for many and with unemployment at an all time high Christmas traditions as we know it will not be the same for many, but thanks to the extension of the unemployment benefits, there will be turkey on the table for some.
What can we do:
Check on our neighbors and take them some shopping;
Donate a Turkey;
Volunteer at a pantry or a soup kitchen;
Donate to Toys for Tots or your favorite charity; and
Give someone a hug.
So let's try and do all we can this holiday season to help the less fortunate. Have a safe and happy holidays.

I love this post. One of the things I like to do, but not only at Christmas, is pay someone elses food bill at the supermarket (while they're in line trying to figure out what to put back because they can't afford everything.)
