Cherish simple things this
Christmas season
Christmas is such a special and caring time.
But most of all, Christmas is a spirit that permeates our lives and mani-
fests itself in so many warm and wonderful ways through our caring deeds
and actions.
Hopefully, it will be a time of peace and good will toward our fellow
man.
Hopefully, it will be a time of sharing with family and friends and those
we love.
Hopefully, Christmas will be that time that brings out a peaceful and
ethereal spirit that lifts us beyond the mundane struggles of our lives.
There is a simple, genuine and sincere quality about Christmas that lifts
our spirit and brings new hope for the state of our troubled world.
Christmas is the spirit of giving and sharing.
From the first gift of the Christ Child in the most modest of surroundings
in the Bethlehem stable, the spirit of unconditional and selfless giving has
endured.
It is a• spirit that caringly turns our thoughts toward others, our family,
neighbours, the disadvantaged and less fortunate.
The true spirit of Christmas is in the giving and sharing of our time and
good fortune. So many people in our area have given generously and self-
lessly of themselves to provide for the less fortunate and needy in their
communities.
Those caring and generous deeds speak to the real Christmas gift of giv-
ing.
Hopefully, this will be a Christmas that brings together families, friends
and loved ones in the true spirit of the season. The lasting memories of
Christmas are created in family gatherings where genuine and warm feel-
ings pervade.
Hopefully, this will be a Christmas where we can all extract a good mea-
sure of satisfaction from knowing that many families and children will
create their own warm and lasting memories thanks to the generosity of
citizens who provided through the Christmas Bureau and other agencies.
The spirit of generosity and giving is alive.
Hopefully, Christmas will be a time of peace and joy in your house-
hold.
Christmas is a time to cherish the simple gifts that life offers. The love
of family and friends.
Hopefully, it will be a time when valued traditions continue to play an
important role in your seasonal celebration.
Our Christmas wish is that it is a time of love, peace, joy and good times
for you and your family. (DS)
