Re: merry christmas

The best gift I got, was a result of a gift that was given. This year our team organized a Christmas gift drive for a family that is down on their luck. Knowing that we helped make their Christmas special, was the best gift I could have gotten.

I hate to sound like one of those stupid Christmas cliches and be a big downer, but this thread made it feel necessary. Enjoy the gifts you received, but take a bit of time to think of those less fortunate and remember how lucky you all are. There's a lot of people out there who would kill for just one tenth of each have you has received.

Merry Christmas to all of you.
