Christmas

A short Note on Christmas...
Christmas is often referred to as one of the most wonderful times of the year. It's a time spent with families and friends, and with any luck for many people it is a time full of happiness. Christmas is also a time for reflection on the past year, on plans for the future and to share those reflections with others. I think it is also an extremely important time to remember those less fortunate than we who may not have the same opportunity to enjoy the Christmas season. Of Course there are people abroad who can't afford to put enough food on the table or those who are ravaged by poverty related diseases like HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria. There are also those at home, who may face similar challenges, or face different ones such as loneliness. For many people, Christmas is a particularly difficult time of year, remembering those who could not be with them to celebrate or even those whose' reflections are of more troubling times than good ones. It's important to remember how lucky we are on Christmas, even for the small things, as well as to always keep in mind those less fortunate. So this Christmas reach out to someone whether it be a friend, family member of perfect stranger who might need a helping hand.
Merry Christmas.
