There really is a Santa Claus
I just could not get into the Christmas spirit this year, no matter how many Christmas carols I listened to. I put up the decorations but this year we couldn't afford a real tree like we usually get so I dug out the old sparkly green/blue aluminum one from the basement and put it up. I kept telling myself that my kids - two teenagers still living at home - would understand that gifts this year would be minimal at best.
A few days before Christmas we got a delivery from the high school they go to with gifts for both kids consisting of clothes and gift cards and a box of food containing canned goods, a gallon of milk and a frozen turkey. I hope those people know how much they have done. It's not just the gifts themselves, it is the whole spirit.
To be honest, this was the best Christmas I have had in a long time.
To any of you who have donated to food banks, toys for tots, churches or schools to help others, I personally thank you. You are very special people and really do make a difference.
All the best in 2011.
