What is December? Well... it's the 12th month of the year, the second month of Winter and most people think of Christmas, Santa, toys & kids. Until I read my friends blog... I always thought of those things. I think it is SO important to remember that this month, is the month of giving.
I was on my way home today listening to talk radio and they did a secret santa for a five year old girl who just got diagnosed w/ lukemia and her family. I was in TEARS listening to the story. It made me realize how many families are in need, and even though I might struggle on paying my bills or living paycheck to paycheck I still have a roof over my head, food in my fridge, clothes on my back, and friends and family by my side.
November was a time to be thankful, for all that we have... now let's make December the month to give. GIVE to the families that don't have a lot. If you live in Utah here is a site I found that you can go to, to help out:

Even just going to the local hospital and helping out, or visiting children in the "make a wish" foundation. There is always a family that could use extra help during the holidays, or a child that needs a miracle.
Anyway, have a great Christmas and think of everyone but yourself.
