To me Christmas is about being with loved ones and celebrating life.\u00a0There are many ways to show love and joy. The idea is to be creative which is my favorite thing to do. Some things I like to do as gifts are sending Christmas cards and baking cookies. Home made gifts are fun to do such as painting a picture, doing a sewing project and making a scrap book. These are truly gifts from the heart. Another way to give is volunteering your time to help others like serving food in a soup kitchen to donating food, clothing and toys to charity so everyone can have a happy holiday.\u00a0 So during this holiday season\u00a0 slow down and remember to keep the love and joy alive.\u00a0 I wish everyone a safe merry Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
