I find it difficult to get into the Christmas spirit when nobody is allowed to mention Christmas. It is always winter and never Christmas around here. Wake me for New Year's Eve.

There are lots of organizations that are helping the less fortunate this Holiday season. Make sure that you really check into an organization before you give this year. Do your homework and don't assume that because an agency is part of a national organization that they are the best. Remember to "shop local"even with your charitable donations.
