Good morning.....

When I was little we used to put extra money in the church koffers when they passed around the basket, this was for the "poor" familys in the neighbourhood that could not afford Christmas. Food baskets were then purchased by the church for them.

It wasn't until I woke up before my mother and father one Christmas and went to look out the back door. It was there that I saw the basket, it was then that I realized that we were one of those familys.

So...every Christmas for me was special, and it made me appreciate everything that I have in my life.

Happy Holidays everyone!
