It's the season of giving. You can feel it all around you if you step outside. There's something in the air, you can't put your finger on it, but people are just genuinely friendly in December and heck, more apt to open a door for you or offer a warm smile. Maybe it's the anticipation of Christmas. No matter what, it's a great time of year.
This time of year presents it's challenges as well. Presents, presents, presents.....it seems we rate a successful Christmas on the amount of material gifts one gives/receives. It seems we keep moving farther away from the meaning of Christmas.
I found two clips; one which is a tear jerker and one that just warms your heart. The first one will stop you in your tracks and makes you appreciate everyone in your life. (you may have to copy and past the URL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye39mgcHC3E
The second, well it's just cute and a great display of sharing your gifts with others. (you may have to copy and paste the URL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXh7JR9oKVE
With that, enjoy the holidays but take time to give back. Not only will it warm your heart, it will warm the recipients.
