Here it is the month of December and many thoughts are focused on the holiday season and gift giving.  Some people forget that there are those who don't give an expensive factory made gift but choose to search the shows and sites for that one perfect handmade item that is the perfect gift.  

Sadly the the commerialicsm of the Christmas season starts in the summer months.  Sometimes people forget that the real reason for the season is not about the gifts we give or receive.  The season is about the greatest gift, love.  The greatest gift is love and the peace found with the love.  

So let us all slow down, take a step back, relax and just enjoy the season for what it is meant to be.  A time for love, for sharing joy with family and friends.  A time to remember and a time to hope.
