Charles Dickens first published A Christmas Carol on Dec. 19, 1943. This story reminds us the joy around Christmas time can be found in friendship, kindness and generosity.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic raging on as we approach Christmas Day, it is important for all of us to find meaning and happiness around the Christmas season no matter how Christmas 2020 may look.
Watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas also reminds us how Christmas came without presents, packages and a fancy dinner. In the end, Christmas came just the same.
This year it’s most important to find meaning in the little things and simple things that we can do not only for others, but also for ourselves.
