christmas is more than a time for giving.

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens


I thought that since we were reading "A Christmas Carol," in English, it woulds be fun to put a quote that Charles Dickens wrote about Christmas.


But "A Christmas Carol," is a phenonmenon!
and A Muppet Christmas Carol is the best movie version of A Christmas Carol! I've been baking cookies and watching Christmas movies while being all wrapped up in a blanket and being all warm and cozy. Christmas is such a wonderful time of year to forget all of your worries and needs, and think about others, which is just a beautiful feeling that I wish we had everyday, but we don't. We are all to preoccupied in our own lives that we only think about the poor during Christmas time, even though they need us more than at one time of the year!

Erin, YOU'RE a phenomenon!
...And I'm glad you're beginning to understand the big message Chuck Dickens is throwing our way--though I have a feeling you've understood it way before this.
