In general, I find that whatever your religion or denomination, the Christmas season makes people a little happier and more giving. In general. This isn't always the case, of course.
In the days before Christmas, the streets and shops are filled with last-minute shoppers rushing to find the perfect gift, or get those last few items for the meal.
For some, of course, the holidays (not just this one) are a time of stress. Some people get so caught up in what they have to do that they forget to enjoy the season.
So, this holiday season, from Christmas Eve through New Years Day, please take some time to enjoy your families, your friends, and all the little things - the beautiful lights, the crisp winter air, the twinkling stars - and remember that this season is a time of giving.
It's the time when Christians pause to remember how God sent His only son to be born on earth, so that we could have the greatest gift of all - eternal life.
