Lets not Forget

I know Christmas is an exciting time for everyone. This year for Christmas, Dave and I don't have a lot of money to buy our family presents, but this made me think. Are we forgetting the true meaning of this holiday? Everyone is out shopping and getting mad at everyone in traffic, for what? Presents to put under the tree? I'm not complaining, I love getting presents, but I don't want that to be what Emery thinks of Christmas.

Like I said before, Dave and I don't have a lot of money, but whenever I have a couple of extra bucks and I am walking by one of those bell ringing guys, I will put my few bucks in there, and it puts a smile on my face. At HyVee, I always donate $1 to the Harvest food thing that is up at the register. These are just little things that I can do to help someone else out at Christmas time.  

I want to Thank everyone who helped out someone in need this Christmas season. There are a lot of people out there that are less fortunate than us. We should not forget that. I hope that in years to come, Dave and I will have enough money to adopt a family for Christmas to show Emery that it feels good to give.

I hope Everyone has a great Holiday season and does not forget what the season is really about.
