Taken from "Once Upon a Christmas". As mid December rapidly approaches approaches most of .us have spent considerable considerable time thinking about, and planning all the wônderful things that Christmas brings. We've made our lists and checked them twice. Already, smells from the kitchen take on a sweeter aroma and invitations to loved ones have been extended. The last minute bustling will last from now until Christmas Eve. Our standard of living by the most part is quite comfortable. Once the rushing about of the season has simmered down we pause and are reminded how fortunate fortunate we are. For some December, and the very thought of Christmas only brings deep feelings of depression. , To get caught up in our own world is easy, perhaps even taking for granted the splendour of a Christmas dinner, the gifts, the joy, and all the trimmings that make up the holiday season. Maybe through fate or because of a crisis, illness or abandonment, some people need help and a caring word. Most are proud people who would rather not accept charity. Through efforts of volunteer agencies, agencies, churches and schools, year after year, a twinkling of a Christmas is literally given to those less fortunate. It comes in the form of a nourishing dinner, a toy for a • child and a hug and a smile or two. When 1 remember back to my own childhood Christmas' in Toronto, certain feelings resurface. My sister and brothers and I would " wait, excitely for that very special delivery to arrive - the beautiful Christmas basket, wrapped up in shiny cellophane with a big red bow on top. It was the "big event" for us - our Christmas supper with added added goodies included - all brought to us by a kindly man from the church, who I'm sure we thought was Santa Claus himself. What a profound impact this had on us. The thought that total strangers had given us a taste of a real Christmas. "People, are pretty terrific, I'd say..." In the deepest and truest spirit of 'Christmas I hope that you will give from your heart; your share of Christmas cheer will go much farther farther than you will ever know.
