Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
I shared this with you a while ago. And, I feel it is a good time to reflect on it again.
We find ourselves living thru some strange times. Stress, from our day to day lives and feeling traumatized from fear of what will come next and how it will affect our lives and ability to care for our families. I felt, we were in need of an uplifting message. I found this Christmas thought, which gave me hope, and decided to share it with you.
Let’s not forget to talk with the children. Ask questions to see what their understanding of these events are. Encourage them speak to about their fears, what are they thinking, and what they think this change will mean to them. Help them create ways to manage these feelings.
Tell them stories of how our elders, their ancestors made it thru. Create an open and accepting conversation, letting them know, when they come to you, you will listen to hear them. It is important to help them understand what’s going on, in order for them to find hope in their future.

- Every time a hand reaches out
- to help another.
- That is Christmas
- Every time someone puts anger aside
- and strives for understating
- That is Christmas
- Every time people forget their differences
- And realize their love for each other
- That is Christmas
- May this Christmas bring us closer to the spirit
- of human understanding closer to the blessing of peace.
