Another look at Christmas

We have lots to celebrate in less than a two month period of time, birthdays, anniversary and Christmas. As the last of the holiday decoration disappear I think about the true meaning of this special holiday. As always there is a positive and a negative to holiday wrappings with all the paper and bows. How many people are employed by the industry that produces all those designs and product (positive) yet how many resources are used to make a throw away item (negative)? How many people recycled the paper (positive) yet how much water was used to make the paper (negative)? As the debate rushes through my mind I thank God we have the freedom to celebrate. Americans have much to be thankful for and freedom is HUGE!
