For all those who have loved ones and families to be with during this holiday, I wish you a happy renewal of the love you should have and share with each other.

For those who are spending this holiday a little more alone, I wish that one day you may find yourself in a very similar kind of company.

It's easy to forget what we have when we have it. It's easy to take the simplest things for granted. And, no one thinks about their shadow until it's gone. So please, cherish the things that you have, and cherish the people even more. I don't care who you are, you are blessed, and you deserve to feel so.

So, be reminded that this is a holiday of giving, but the material part of it is hardly the right idea (as cliché and repeated as that is, it's still so easily forgotten). It's about giving joy to others... and the funny thing about joy is that the more you give, the more you receive. So, please, don't let a little thing like selfishness, fear, and pride hold you back from being the good and joyful person that you want to be. It's in all of us, it's desired and desirable, and if you try to give it to others, you might find a little bit inside yourself.

I'm not a poet, I ramble, and am never able to put my thoughts to words. So, I think I'm just going to shut down my mind a bit and open my heart for this holiday. That seems to work better anyhow.

So, to all of you that feel the way I feel, and even to the ones that don't. I wish you the most heart felt Merry Christmas, and God Bless too.
