Sometimes things happen to bring us back to the real meaning of Christmas & celebrate the JOY of that rather than the material worldly aspects of Christmas.....better to have one gift given from the heart even if it's made from things around the home from what you can afford than a boat load of toys that don't teach our children the basic values that are so important & which is the best gift we can give them.

Sometimes we end up being forced by circumstances to bring us back to the grounding we tend to forget otherwise......the that is wrapped up in Christmas
