LETTER: Count your Christmas blessings

Everyone is getting ready for the Christmas holiday, with people running to and fro, trying to get that special gift before anyone else got it.
But after all of this, people are not happy. This is supposed to be a time to be happy. We need to go back to that night when it was time for Mary to have her baby.
She and Joseph had to stay in the stables for there was no room in the inn. So, when Mary had her baby, she laid him in the manger and named him Jesus.
With so many things going on and people rushing around, trying to get everything done before Christmas, it’s no wonder that people are worried about so many things.
So, at this beautiful holiday season, let us just look at all of our blessings and count them one by one.
Merry Christmas, I love you and wish you a happy new year.
