Christmas Spirit
Inspiration
A so very sweet nine-year-old once wrote: "Christmas is a time for being kind and generous. Christmas is a time for giving and loving. Christmas is a time for cheer and happiness. Christmas is a time for family and friends." This nine-year-old's understanding of the Christmas Spirit should be instilled in all of us and our little ones at a young age. The Christmas Spirit is positively contagious, and will inspire all of us at Christmas so that we continue to celebrate with warmth in our hearts for generations to come.
