Your Name Here=Harvey > Subject: The real message of christmas

It was actually "smell ya later".  But that part was written out by later translators.

Response:

XMas is that day of the year where we can take a day to think of others and wish them well, and where we can remember to try harder to think of others in a same way all year round. A day of recapitulation and seing where we are at, what we did with the love of the neighbor all year and a time to renew and reenergize ourself to be better able to recharge and try again… A day to think of those who are usually excluded for whatever reason, that are also human bings wishing they were with hothers, at home, or that wish they knew what "home" even meant. From prisoners to people hospitalized or dyingof old age or parked in a hime and gettign a yearly visit or not even that to kids dyign of leukemia to the jobless brother or sister to the single dad and single mom… Today is the day by excellence of the year to put all judgemental outcasting values aside, to remember that everyone exactly is a human being… and a neighbor. And to christians at least then, someone to love, regardless of what faith or belief or non belief they have or not. Today is also a day to at least try and help those who do work all year round tryign to make things better and make the poor and homeless not get so forgotten as to need to rob and kill to get a part of a minimal life. Shelters for the homeless. Orphanages, and yes there are tons of those still in the world. Missiosn liek poeple working in third world countries. People who, like mother Theresa used to do, spend their energy, their every breath working for those who do not or who can not, but who can help financially or materially at least to make the work of those few possible. Tonight and tomorrw, tons of volunteers will work distributing XMas baskets, baking and cookign for the homeless, distributing used and new clothes, tryign to hand sleepign bags at least to those sleeping and frezing to death, that are still on the streets, unable to pay the few dollars that even shelters demand pretty much everywhere in Canada and the US anyway… Tonight and tomorrow, volunteers will go to hospitals to go play XMas music and distribute presents to the kids sick there, that might bnever know another XMas. Others will go spend time with the adults stuck in there with no visitors ever that try to hang in there despite the fact that they have no one waiting for them in no home… Tonight and tomorrow is the day where some will stop to help strangers along the road, still weiht safety in mind, but thinking of their neighbors’ safety too.. And today and tomorrow is a time where those who have a family try and do all they can to get there and put differences aside, and where those who have none can be invited in to belong to a family at least for one day, if poeple can not do more at all in their overloaded materialistic year. There still is time to go drop an extra blanket on some downtown sreet corner or in that area where you know the homeless abound. There still is time to leave that old thermos with it, filled with a hot coffee or soup or stew or why not, turkey and potatoes. There still is time to grab some of them tea bags, a can of this and that, some salt and pepper or other spices always missing in shelters, a few potatoes and whatever one tenth you can of your cubboard goods, dry goods and not, and go drop that at your local shelter or church. You got no car to take it there? Take an envelope and put a five dollars in and mail it. It still is time… Because what will be gathered tonight and tomorrow will constitute the largest par t of what goes directly to the needy for the entire year trhat is not the too small allocation they live on, the too lil food, the no extra dry basics. That old pair of mittens…That old scarf of last year that does not fit with your new coat. Your old coat. T-shirts, sweaters, whool socks or cotton ones alike…Boots, water proof even better… That old thing on wheels you used to use to carry your groceries before you got that new one or bought a vcar: it is the very house, drawers, fridge ofthe homeless and soemthign they can need badly for half of them… You got none of that? Did you bake cookies? Do you own an old school bag, an old back pack, an old sports bag? Bring it there. For havign lived in a shelter myself for 17 days and nights I can tell you nothing you own is worse than what they have! Bring your old jeans, your old clothes there, not to the sa,vation army as they always only get what does not sell to those who can buy cheap at the salvation army. They get the leftovers of the leftovers, unless someone brigns directly there. Got candies, chocolate bars, fruits? Think of jailed poeple. You’d not believe how many are there cause they purposely did somethign to just get a roof over their head cause no one cares to help them have one otherwise! You prefer to give to the honest ones that never did anyone any wrong? Good luck finding any. Perhaps that coudl explain why some keep everythign for themself: they fear no one will give to them, hehehehe:). You got a car but no place to go for XMas? Call a radio station and offer to give rides for the day. Who knows who you might meet in so doing:). Perhaps even your preconceived idea about the needy woudl change and you;d be the one getting the most out of your giving!:) Today is not another day to pass judgement on people in jail, on the homless or on the poor of any other kind. Let’s face it: people in jail just coudl not afford OJ’s atprneysm, and some killers are out there that will eat all year round like it was XMas…Doh. And if you still wanna give to those you find worthy of your grand self, well, so be it. There are poeple working at the fire stations and police centres and emergencies that will live horrors this Xmas seing loved ones be wounded, burtnt, lose everything… Bring them soemthing. They have coffee usually in those places, so bring somethign that can help it taste different and can comfort on a day where they too think of their families and of XMas at home…while they stay in service to protect lives and maintain order… You got nothign to give? Go around the police statisn and fire statiosn and collect! Then bring it to some good place where the needy can use it. Got old books and magazines? Think hospitals and shelters, again! This time of the eyar is a great tiem to sort through drawers and closets and give away… It is not too late. Some will find themself homeless just on XMas night, and will be conforted to find those things then the day after or the week after. Yes, your old air conditionign or thatold heater can also be precious to these places! Old dishes? Way to go, no one cares there if it matches or not! Utensils, bowls, and what of that old toaster and kettle now that you got a new one for XMas? Before NY there still is time to take all the stuff you had a new one of and bring it to others. For once, think of soemthign else than the second hand stiores. The real poor do not even have the means to get there let alone pay 50 cents for anything, and those stores do NOT sell for 50 cents anymor,e even the middle class buying there… Bring wherre it can be used free of any charge. Make sure it is given just like you did give. Got new apliances for XMas? Well, wow! What of the old ones? Have some place for the needy pick them up! Old paint cans? Shelters can use that too! How about an open account for 100 bucks for meds for some needy person at a local drugstore? I am sure that can be arranged too! Could you tech soemoen to read this year? To write? Could you spend one hour a month doing errands for soem centre? Driving the elderly to the dr? Cooking them one meal that you brign them? You still have almost two days to make soemthign with your bare hands. If you are the type that does not care for battered women, well, they have kids in there that might learn that poeple care and that not everyoen in life is a mean thing. Fidna  recipe online to make silly putty. Find tricks to make crafts easy and fast, like a lil necklace for this one or a doll for that one. Mike it a point that even if one lil thing of nothing, you contribute to make the world a better place, and to ease the burden on others. And if that neighbor;s dog barks… Why not bring it a can of food and take it for a walk for XMas? Why not give him that bones from this emal you had? Avoid chicken and turkey bones, please! Maybe the next time it will bark seign you walk home and it will warm your own heart and bring a smile to your own face:) XMas is that day of the eyar o really give your all all you can. How big was your all this year…? Perhaps you are the oen needing comforting and love… Make that extra step and ask, make that call and get that basket. That i what everyoen else works for…Just in case you’d call….. Merry XMas, to all, everywhere and nowhere….

I have a neighbour who has a dog which barks nearly all the time. I’d like to have the dog taken away and the neighbour to have a lifetime to contemplate why they have to live dogless. How far down the line are you taking this? I mean I agree there should be no need for people to go around hurting one another but sometimes we do stupid things because we’re stupid, or angry, or ignorant, or perceive ourselves to have been wronged by someone else etc. Always remember two things: 1] You’re only human; 2] They’re only human.

Or as the Hollies put it: "No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read…" If Jesus were alive today they’d probably have him bang to rights in Guantanamo with pretty much this kinda regime. "Well tonight thank God it’s them instead of you". Just the other side of the picture. "The use of murder (violence) to get what you want in this world can get you elected President". Perhaps it wouldn’t be amiss to spare a thought for all those currently deprived of freedom for no reason and under no charge, whether "Christmas" means anything to them or not. http://207.44.245.159/article7500.htm http://www.amnesty.org/ paste to the last: library/Index/ENGAMR511462004

Response:

Peace on Earth – goodwill towards all mankind To live in peace, we have to get along with each other, no matter what our ideas and beliefs are. The use of killing and murder (violence) to get what you want in this world, automatically places you into that category of antisocial/sociopath/reject/unwanted/rubbish of society. If the death penalty is too kind for such folk, then a lifetime in jail living piously would be the solution. With no TV, no gym, no niceities of life to be enjoyed. Just a lifetime to contemplate why they are so locked up. Harvey
