Don't forget the real reason for the Christmas Festival. To let others know that you appreciate them, and even if you don't always have time to be there, that they are important to you, that you love them, Show them that you value them and that they mean a lot to you, that they are a sacred part of your life, and that their existence and the fact they have been born is as important as the birth of the only son of God, that every living person is sacred too, and that those we share our immediate lives with are a blessing to us and that we should never forget that. The giving of gifts is a way of saying you are loved, and if I don't always let you know, i am letting you know at this special time of year that has been put aside that I might remember that we are all here together, and I really do want you to know how much you mean to me....and that you ARE LOVED. xx 'of course the giving of gifts is optional', but do let people know they are loved
