al, your family & friends may not be nearby, but it sounds like you have the best idea for a Christmas. That is what it is all about, really. Your thoughtfulness is a wonderful gift to others. May the meaning of Christmas be with you always.

A “Blue Christmas” is simply in the mind of the beholder and have a wonderful Christmas!

I have experienced the loss of both parents and of a son. My daughter and other son live back east so we can’t get together for Christmas. All my friends have moved away from this town because of the economy and so I’m more alone than I’ve ever been in my life. Its sad. But I started a tradition for myself several years ago. I buy a nice big white candle and then surround it with several smaller ones in white and red etc. I decorate the plate I set it on and then on Christmas eve I light the candle and sing Happy Birthday Jesus. I’ve made the holiday about him and then I go an volunteer at the homeless shelter. That will put everything into perspective when you see others that don’t even have a home or food. I consider myself lucky. Thanks to Jesus and our Father.

Yes, a free Farmers’ Almanac sounds good. It is not fun being along on Christmas. With no family, you try to get something going with neighbors or friends, but they all seem to be very busy with their own families and “kind of” don’t hear your plea.
