Reflective Essay
In just a few short days another holiday season will kick off around the world. Holiday memories always bring out the best in people even in a slow economy, horrible job market, and healthcare problems. Good Samaritans find ways to be with loved ones and enjoy the time spent on those special days that are drawing near.
We can all remember a time when we were so excited to see the huge turkey come out of the oven. The turkey looked so juicy and just the most beautiful gold coat of turkey broth you have ever seen. On the inside of the pot you would have some vegetables cooking in the broth with the turkey. The mash-potatoes are waiting on the top of the stove along with the cranberry sauce in the refrigerator. You sit down to a gorgeously decorated table. The table has all the utensils you will need and as you pass the bottle of fine wine around for all to enjoy you think that this is pretty nice. After you finish your wonderful turkey with all the fixings, you then have a slice of pie and enjoy the company of loved ones.
Christmas is the time of year for giving. Everyone likes a surprise or a present. Little boys and girls make lists for Santa Clause. Then the big day arrives and you race downstairs to find that one gift you wished for all along. You play with it until you don’t even want to play anymore. Then the family comes to the table and everyone smiles with joy.
If any of what I wrote reminds you of holidays spent in your life then please take a second of your time and help those that are less fortunate. Not everyone will have a Merry Christmas or a happy Thanksgiving. Many people this year are without homes or jobs and are not looking forward to the holiday season as most see it. Reach out to those in need this holiday season.

This is very well said. Christmas is not a Seasonal Thing, its a daily way of life. I remember wanting to volunteer at a Soup Kitchen a couple of Thankgivings ago. When I asked how I could help, the person in charge "I have enough of you people" and then she added "Where are you in June??".I thought as I walked away, she is right I was there to make myself feel good, not to help others....
God Bless
