		<description>MMm.. this is tough.. in my heart there are so many fond memories with family that have past away and some that are still here. To me one one woman changed it forever.. I wish I knew her name but I don&#39;t. I was 7 months pregnant, 19 years old and downtown Seattle with my mom just looking and enjoying the holiday lights and festivities, we got hungry and went to a Wendy&#39;s to get something quick to eat.. this woman came up grabbed my moms hand with a big smile and looked at my mom and myself and told us we we&#39;re blessed that coming year and to have a Merry Christmas..She turned walked away and my mother opened her hand to see a 20.00 bill there.. we both we&#39;re stunned.. this is in the 90&#39;s.. I hold that woman dear to my heart because I believe in people so much and I know there is good like that but my mom had a tear in her eye that day I had never seen before and a look at me that said Mindy you do believe in people and because I might too.. Today my daughter is now 19 and expecting(crazy huh?) And I still try to carry what i witnessed that day.. Itmay  not be the same amount but the same gesture she had given to me.. I will tell this story to my granddaughter one day in hopes that she remebers we don&#39;t always have to give to those we give are love to everyday ,, we could change it by giving to that stranger we don&#39;t know. What they use it for I will not ask.. I justhope it gives them that HOPE that not all people are cruel..</description>

		<description>And since Christmas is just around the corner, I want to say my views because like you I love this jolliest day of the year and wants to celebrate it with love in my heart: to share with others especially to the less privilege. Am too don&#39;t like the happy holidays greetings but I know for sure this is in reverence to those whose beliefs is not inline with Christianity. So this may be favorable for everyone. But nevertheless, the Merry Christmas greeting is more appropriate to Christian people. By the way, I find giving &lt;a href="http://www.bradfordsbakers.com/?target=category&#038;category_id=344" rel="follow" rel="nofollow"&gt;xmas hampers&lt;/a&gt; unique and a good idea because of its simplicity and yet full of meaning.</description>

		<description>Christmas is my famous holiday. It is time to spend with my family, gather together on the festive dinner table. It is the very holiday to thank God for all good in our lives, for everything we achieved and will achieve. It is a perfect time for gift-gifting and gift-receiving, the time to say the words of appreciation to those you love and care for indeed.</description>

		<description>I don't find the phrase, Merry Christmas, offensive either. I think that even for people like me who aren't active with respect to religion, the phrase has taken on a cultural significance in addition to the original religious signification. And after all, with all the things wrong with the world today, and with all the offensive words and images being thrown up in public spaces, why focus on something as innocuous as Merry Christmas?

		<description>Thanks for your blog, Michael.  One of my children recently asked me what period of time I'd like to live in if I could choose any time to live.  I chose the present day because it is in the present that we have the joy of seeing the fulfillment of all of God's promises throughout the Bible, culminating in the birth, death and resurrection of Christ.  Christmas is a reminder that He keeps His promises.</description>
