It’s the holiday season, and there are
many ways to celebrate. I was raised with Christmas. It
wasn’t until adulthood that I knew there were other
holiday celebrations,
like Kwanza and Chanukah. No matter what the celebration,
I believe kids everywhere enjoy music and stories. So
this month, please take a moment to venture through these
links and see if you don’t find something enjoyable
for your family.
One of the traditions my family has is to ‘adopt’
a family. Every year, we provide a meal and gifts to a
family unable to do so on their own. I am now 46 years
old and have been doing this since childhood. It’s
never too early (or too late) to begin a tradition of
loving our fellow man and providing what we can, not only
at this holiday time, but all through the year.
Happy holidays and peace to each and every one of you…..from
me.
