What is it about Christmas we all like or love,,I would say enjoying seeing my daughters eyes light up like the North Star when she is there on the floor opening gifts,,the joy of family friends,and knowing I lived another year to see the joyest day of the year..So what your thought on Christmas,,


aka... The HAFERCAN....


I am happy when Christmas is all over. I really hate this time of year; its depressing for the poor and homeless as well as high rates of sucide. Think about that while you are making merry.


A lot of folks do think about that while "making merry".

I for one feel that making an extra effort to help those less fortunate this time of year is part of it. I'm sure most decent folks feel the same...



Ah, if only that were true and this heart felt sentiment was felt all year long. Contrary to what many think; people need food and clothing all year long; not just at Christmas. Helping one month a year isn't enough.


Well, I prefer to look for the good in people before assuming the worst in them. I guess I'm a glass is half full person but I believe that those who understand that the "gift is in the giving" are still blessed in their spirit, despite the fact that the poor and homeless are always with us.

I guess I am tainted as I have traveled alot and don't see much good in the human race anymore. We truly are all about whats in it for us. I was running a charity drive and one guy actually asked whats in it for me? He was one of many that asked that question. When did we become so heartless and greedy? I have completely loss faith in our society.
