The holidays are happy times for most of us. But, we need to be aware of those around us who suffer emotionally through the holidays. It is a very lonely time for some, leading to depression. Reach out to those around you that need a little more attention during this time. You can create hope for others with just a kind word or gesture.

Merry Christmas!
