Today, Christmas is stress and lonliness to some, joy and family to others. To children it means presents! Christmas (should at least) stands for family gatherings and sharings. I pray that everyone who has no family or who cannot enjoy or take part in his or her family during Christmas, still finds joy and peace during this night. Light some candles and do something you really enjoy! Relax and don't think unhappy thoughts, allow yourself some peace. Go online and search for interesting pages about Christmas! :) I haven't put together everything I plan to yet, but there is still some interesting things to read. Come back after December 13, if you want to read more! <BR> Please remember that poinsettias are poisonus, so beware around children and pets!
