This Page One Poem: A Grandchild's Lesson Vignette: Celebrate Opening Comments from Bob This Issue: As is traditional with the December issue, it is abbreviated with a focus on this special time of year. My poem speaks to a truth recently revealed to me. I believe I always knew it, but it recently was fully clarified in my mind.   –.. Vignette: Celebrate The Christmas/Holiday Season has many meanings to different people depending on your spiritual and social views. Some become upset if you don't use the traditional Merry Christmas and instead say, "Happy Holidays." You will note above I chose both greetings. I personally find Happy Holidays to be more inclusive when speaking to a larger audience but use both greetings during this season. But whichever one you choose to use, the real message is what does this particular time mean to you. For me, it is not only a time to examine one's faith but also a time for family and friends to celebrate life and the many gifts our relationships have given us. During this special season may your feasts be joyous and filled with love. Top Click on the icon to go to the homepage.
