Many different things are important to different people at Christmas time. For some, it is a religious time. For some it is family time. For others, it is a party time. For me, it is religious. Not so much the church activities, but thinking what the real meaning of Christmas is to ME. It is a time of giving, but not so much the giving of material things, but a giving of one's self to others. It is also fo me a family time. A time when my son comes home and we can hunt or fish for a few days. Or my daughter and her family are here. I know that many people are not religious, but I do know what God has done for me, an ex-drunk, my family, and my life. May all of the Mudcats have a very joyous holiday season and may the new millininum be a very Happy time for all. And to all, a good night. Fred.
