It's Christmas! The best part about the holidays is sharing with family and friends. I am aware, however, that many do not have family close-by. Loneliness is a not a good experience now, particularly, or ever, I suppose.. I have spent the holidays alone a few times. The circumstances dictated by a lack of funds, usually. Not enough money to get home--to buy gifts--participate in the hoopla. That was when I was younger. I was terribly homesick and needing my loved ones. Always, some wonderful chain of events, would bring someone to my doorstep...someone to share the day with. I, at once, would realize that Christmas isn't about gifts, food, places of wonder, but rather, about sharing yourself.
If you know of someone, who is alone through the holidays, reach out. Knock on their door. Ring them on the phone. Make an effort. It will fill you, and them, with the spirit of love. Love is what Christmas is all about...
