This morning Mrs. Fin and I were bemoaning the commercialization of Christmas and how it seems the true spirit of Christmas somehow has been lost since we were younger. We came home from our morning trip to the Daily Coffee Bar and read this Facebook post, written by Lawnboy's wife. It made me smile, as I know it is one of many examples of people doing something special for those who may not be as fortunate.
I guess the true spirit of Christmas is still alive and well. Just need to look somewhere other than Wal-Mart and TV ads.
Thanks for being the generous and caring person you are, Bart. I am sure you have made a difference in the life of someone who may not have been dealt a good hand, hopefully giving them faith that the world does care about them, especially during a season when it would be hard to reconcile how some of us have been blessed with so much while others have desperate needs for even the basics. I know there are many other examples of the Christmas spirit and I am thankful to read and hear about them.
Merry Christmas to all of you! We are grateful for your friendship and all that we have been blessed with.

Today I got to witness what Christmas is really about. Bart saw a lady that needed new shoes and found out a way to ask her size. Today as he handed her the wrapped package and told her merry Christmas her eyes welled up with tears, and she had a hard time keeping it all together. It was very sweet. I am glad I got to see it.... I think it will be the highlight of Christmas for me.
