There are many things to be thankful for at Christmas and I would like to focus on them over the next few days. One of the big things is family. I am thankful for my family, my wife, my children, my siblings, my parents, cousins, grandparents, nieces, nephews, etc. I am also thankful that Christmas brings families together and they can have a meal together. I would like to quote a part of a poem I have heard. When you and I, and all of us; smile, shake hands, say peace; then the world becomes a better place. May you and I follow this positive path this Christmas.
