That Blozzz

I am in the holiday mode today and trying to get everything ready. Yesterday, Karen (my wife) finished decorating the Christmas tree and today, I am printing off the Christmas cards to end to family and friends. We use to buy cards but the last couple of years we decided to  make our own. They offer a more personal feeling and I normally include a picture of one of our pets on the front.

Christmas shopping is done (I hate stores) except for a few stocking stuffers. Nothing will kill the holiday spirit like a day in Walmart. LOL I think I did good this year. Of course, I still have the task of wrapping the gifts. I do love to give gifts but I hate to receive them. I ask every year that no one buys for me but every year, I get way too much.

I hope you are all giving where the need is this year and providing what you can for those who need it most. The true spirit of Christmas, not meaning the religious aspect, is to give to those who would otherwise not have anything. Support the local charities that give 100% of the donations back to the local community.

If you are in need for the holidays, do not feel shame, many of us have been in the same boat so make sure you take help from where you can get it. Just remember, if you take help and someday if you are in the position to give something back, do not forgot others who may be in the same position you once were.

Helping your neighbors in a time of need provides a return benefit to you and you may end up inspiring a greater out pour of giving than you every imagined.

Be well and be safe and remember, if life deals you a load of garbage just say “That Blozzz” and move on.
