Added 2022-12-25 15:28:24 +0000 UTCAs we gather around together, buzzing with delight of our gifts or scheming of our 2023 plans this Christmas there are those that are, otherwise alone. While others are celebrating together, some reluctantly, some joyously -- there are people in every town, in every country who will spend Christmas with no one and this is very sad. It may be that they have no more family and feel too embarrassed to accept invitations from friends, or family. Some might have lost contact with their family through circumstance, through their own bad judgment or through misunderstandings that no one bothered repairing. For some, it might be that they are so submerged in the work, and don't know how they got to where they are, but where they are is an empty space with no one inside it. For some they might have lost a loved one or been rejected harshly, cruelly by someone they thought they'd spend their Christmas and their lives with. For some they might have isolated themselves because of fears or complexes that twist their minds in all sorts of ways and haven’t gotten the help they need. These are the people who need to be contacted at Christmas. Our phones are wonderful things that allow us to talk to others, who privately wish they weren’t alone, so folks whether it's a text or through FaceTime, Snapchat, Facebook or WhatsApp, a simple message, a small reminder, a basic human thought can make all the difference to people this Christmas! The message might be anything from "I love you" to "I'm thinking of you" to "Why don't you come over now and help us eat some of this turkey?" to “let’s have a drink” Can make such a difference to someone. Be the kind person, be the bigger person, be that person that makes a difference to someone this Christmas. ❤️🎄
