My Christmas List…

Not just giving presents, but being present.

Not only grocery shopping for holiday meals, but also donating to families who do not have holiday meals.

Not just traveling for the holidays, but thinking of those who do not have family to travel to.

Not only watching the beautiful snow fall, but thinking of those who have never seen snow.

Not only giving thanks for all that we have, but giving our time to others who are not as fortunate.

Not just decorating our home for the holidays, but remembering those who do not have a home to decorate.

Not only having the Christmas spirit, but spreading the Christmas spirit and love to others.

Not just being excited to celebrate Christmas and receive gifts from Santa, but remember those who have never celebrated Christmas or ever received a gift.

Not just praying for good weather so our travels are easy, but praying for those who have nowhere warm to go when the weather is cold.

Not only listening to Christmas music, but spreading Christmas cheer.

Not only searching for great holiday deals, but being thankful for everything we already have.

Not only opening gifts from others, but opening our hearts to those who need love the most.
