The
Ideal
Present
by
ROB
YORK
The
Christmas
season
is
upon
us
once
again;
people
are
preparing
to
celebrate
the
birth
of
the
Messiah
with
songs
and
gifts
and
the
peace
of
happiness
offered
at
this
time.
Families
and
friends
gather
to
share
this
special
event.
Merchants,
small
and
large,
sponsor
sales
to
aid
eager
shoppers
in
the
purchase
of
selected
items.
The
majority
of
the
Christian
world
will
experience
the
elegance
associated
with
the
commercialism
of
our
society,
whereas
there
are
others
who
have
little
to
celebrate
and
even
less
to
celebrate
with
during
Christmas
festivities.
Economic
hard
times
and
unemployment
will
make
this
time
harder
to
bear
for
many
parents
who
had
hoped
to
supply
the
thrill
of
a
special
toy
for
an
expectant
child.
When
the
world
looks
hopeless
and
not
worth
surviving
in
,
Christmas
becomes
a
time
which
ic
harder
and
even
more
unbearable,
as
if
there
is
no
hope.
But
there
is
a
hope,
a
chance
to
make
life
look
a
little
brighter.
That
'hope'
is
seen
through
'giving.
The
sharing
of
a
minute
with
some
one
in
need
is
the
greatest
gift
to
be
given
and
the
reward
is
self-satisfaction
and
inner
peace.
We
have
so
much
at
Christmas,
while
others
have
so
little,
but
if
we
can
share
a
tiny
bit
of
love
-
we
have
given
those
with
nothing,
something
that
has
real
human
value
-
the
knowledge
that
somebody
cares.
As
Christmas
approaches
and
shoppers
are
busily
searching
for
the
ideal
present
,
and
carolers
stroll
by,
remember
what
Christmas
is
all
about:
the
birth
of
Christ
and
the
promise
of
hope
and
'happiness
He
offers
all
of
