(This Issue Main Presentation) 

The Introduction: The Christmas holidays are here for some and will be shortly for others. In America, we recently celebrated Thanksgiving Day and this is seen as the start of the Christmas Holidays and Celebrations. Many people in many nations all over the world love Christmas. While they may not have Thanksgiving, they will have Christmas. But often times (whether after Thanksgiving or Christmas) we are left with only memories of those happy times as the realities of life continue to face us. Our sustainable joy or happy spirit then becomes an issue. Here is an interesting writing and discussion on this point:    

QUOTE:  How to Lead a Joyful Life….A lot of people seem to believe that if you make a lot of money, you're going to be happy. Does that actually work?

You can't buy happiness. We all seem to have a set point for happiness, which is probably genetically as well as environmentally affected. A great windfall can make us joyous for the moment, but after a while we discover that there are all sorts of downsides to it. For example, lottery winners who work a day-to-day job may think that this will mean happiness for life. But it doesn't turn out that way. They find that their co-workers feel resentful. They lose friends because some try to borrow money. It's not exactly what they thought.

Newsletter - Care and Share:

(The Newsletter Producer Expressions - http://brinksterfriend.brinkster.net )

One of the most humane things we can do for ourselves and others is to remember someone who is in need of some form of care or assistance. This is in keeping with the lovely Christmas spirit that we know and believe in so much, even as we start another Season of good cheers. Thanksgiving Day (that is, in America) has past for another year. But the beauty of the season has also began – Christmas Goodwill to all men and women. As we continue our journey this holiday season, as we plan, shop and plan some more for the happy times together, let us remember those next door to us (so to speak) who will need help or assistance in some way or another.
