Real Christmas

Today the Tinseltoons, a group of Dickensian Carolers from our church sang at the annual "visit from Santa" and toy giveaway held by the Devonshire Station of the LAPD at their new youth center in Northridge. Also there was one of our sister churches, Hope Church of Northridge. Along with a lot of other volunteers, we gave away and made Christmas fun for hundreds of children who might not otherwise have gotten anything for Christmas. And that is appropriate for a time of year that is important only because of the gift of love given by God on that first Christmas. If you haven't found a place to volunteer to help others this Christmas, there is still time. Find a place and just do it. If you're too busy - do it anyway. You might find a new holiday tradition to take the place of others you wish you could give up anyway! Merry Christmas!
