You have nailed so much that is Fu%ked Up.., not only with this time of year -- but the state of our world today. After being re-introduced to the O.Henry story "Gift of the Magi" (out getting drunk in the name of the holidays last night) and the shining example, of what the true meaning of the holidays are all about… The sacrifice of giving.., provoked by love.

I doubt many of the children today, would even take this story seriously -- maybe some of the sentimental ones.., but most would have trouble, recalling first-hand experience, when it comes to giving selflessly…

While the addiction to all of our gadgets and the lack of human contact isolates us more.., and the media and advertisers telling us, we've never been more connected… "There are less fortunate people, there are women struggling to start over -- children not getting a toy"

But there are plenty of us out there, to help make their holiday (their life) a little brighter. Because we all know how dark it gets, when you're in that place.., and how -- completely alone you feel…

And it just requires a bit of our time and attention…

Happy Holidays @fairytalelife!
