It may sound trite to some, but I feel that some parts of the Yuletide season should be around all year long. One thing we should all do is serve others. Too many people these days seem to look out only for themselves. Even during this season, greed and selfishness exist a great deal.

Volunteer work is a good way to keep your mind off yourself and concentrate on helping someone else. Be it a helper in a hospital, library, or delivering meals to shut ins, volunteer works makes time fly and and in the end makes one feel better about oneself.

"I can't find a place to volunteer," you say? No way, just look out your door. go on line and look for volunteer work in your community or church. Better yet, just look around your own neighborhood. Get to know your neighbors. You'll be surprised at what you can do for them.
