On the first day of Christmas my
true love gave to me, a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
Festivities everywhere, time with family, specially selected gifts and
delicious food. Unfortunately the excitement leading up to Christmas, mostly
created by the retail industry, is often met by disappointed when it abruptly
ends on empty pockets and overfull stomachs. For those who feel that something
is amiss, it’s good to remember that this holiday which does not discriminate
between sex, race, age, status, or even religion, has a little more to it, and
lasts a little longer.
