Christmas is coming...


...The geese are getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man's hat;
If you haven't got a penny, a ha' penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha' penny then God bless you!

I'm working on a database for a local charitable organization's Christmas gift drive. I'm equal parts heart-broken for the children who need so much, and heart-warmed by this community the pulls together to donate gifts during the holidays. I love that aspect of Christmas! The generosity and warmth and charitableness of people amazes me! It's my prayer tonight that this be our attitude year-round, not just during the holiday season. May our thoughts be for a fellow-man first, and ourselves second.
