Les,
Yours is a story well written, much appreciated and a tribute to your BYU education. There will always be someone better off than you, and, if you really looked, many more who are worse off. Those with family who love each other through thick and thin are the most fortunate of all. When those who have love within their own family open their homes and their hearts to include others not as fortunate, that is the spirit of Christmas.
Thank you for reminding me.
Just finished up my X-Mas shopping today. This type of story means more than the comercial junk we buy to try and bring meaning to Christmas. Thanks Les for writing this story.
