HOLIDAYS: Plenty of gifts to help others

Christmas is just six days away. No doubt many area residents wish they had more time to prepare.

There is so much to do, after all. There are gifts to buy, Christmas cards to be sent, holiday meals to prepare, visits to family and friends to plan, and on and on.

But wait a moment. In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, have you forgotten anything? Helping the less fortunate, perhaps?

If you have donated money, food, toys, clothing or time to an organization providing Christmas gifts, meals or other assistance, God bless you!

If you have not, there still is time.

Dozens of charitable organizations and special Christmas campaigns still need help to meet their goals for this year. Your donation may make the difference between every child getting something nice on Christmas morning and some being turned away.

This is not the season to allow that to happen.

Don’t put the thought aside until you “have time.” At your first opportunity, make a donation to one of the area charities.

Trust us on this: Your help will make Christmas merrier for you and yours.
