Don’t Forget Those in Need

While the vast majority of us are able to enjoy the holiday season to the fullest, and take for granted holiday traditions such as the sharing of gifts, the warm embrace at holiday gatherings of friends and family, and a nice Christmas dinner, the reality for too many among us is far different.

So we urge all of our readers whose holiday-season plates are overflowing to do something to make Christmas brighter for those who will not have a very merry Christmas. From something as simple as making a donation to the Salvation Army Santa, or the Toys for Tots, or the local Food Pantry, there is something each one of us can do to spread the Christmas spirit — and we guarantee that the warm feeling we will get when we make even the smallest donation to a charitable organization will be the best gift we can give to ourselves this holiday season.
