It’s Not Always a Storybook Christmas

December 20, 2011 by Chris Bohn

Here we are a week before Christmas, and there is hustle and bustle everywhere. Most of us enjoy the holiday season.  We love hearing the seasonal music piped into the stores and malls to get us into the spirit. But there are people that don’t have a “storybook Christmas”.

If you stop and think about all the events that have taken place in 2011, there may be someone you know that may be having a hard time during the holidays.

You could ponder over global this year’s events, or our national news issues.  There are families all over the globe that are not feeling the Christmas spirit this year.  It would be nice to help everyone, but let’s talk more local and think more in our own neighborhoods.

Every person reading this post knows someone that has had a personal tragedy or loss this year. Things that happened in their life this year, may weigh heavy on their hearts at Christmastime.

I don’t mean for this to damper your Spirit for Christmas, I’m just putting a nudge here for you to think & remember.  There may be someone or some family that might just need an extra bit of your attention over the holidays this year.

The smallest gifts can put a smile on someone’s face, even when they don’t feel like smiling.  And there are some priceless gifts like a phone call or a few minutes of you time and attention.  Think outside the “Christmas Box”.

Take a part of what YOU consider your Christmas traditions and share an extra bit with someone who may really need it this year.

I love to bake, so I’m planning to deliver some homemade cookies to one of my clients that lost a child this year.   They had only been in their new home for 3 months when the child died.  So Christmas will be hard for them this year.

Homemade cookies and a big hug might make things better for them…even if it’s just for a moment.

Giving is what makes me feel good at Christmastime.

We all know someone that might need a hug and a few minutes of your time. Just think about it.   You might want to put that on your list of gifts to give this year.
