I hope each one of you has a Merry Christmas!
For Christians, this is the time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. And for everyone else, this is a time for good will among people.
Let us take a little time to help one another during this holiday. A friendly smile, a helping hand, a phone call or a simple note or card just to say you care. It’s not much to you, but to someone else it may be a very big thing. Especially if that person is alone this year or missing a loved one.
And you might just be surprised at the gift you receive in return. That feeling of making someone’s day brighter, or their load a little lighter, can be the best gift of all.

When Rosie O’Donnell was host of the television talk show, The View, the only thing keeping it in the ratings was the feud with Donald Trump. There were also the spats Rosie had with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the show’s only conservative co-host. And before Rosie even took over as host, there was the controversy between Rosie and another co-host, Star Jones. Star Jones also had a dispute with Joy Behar, one of the show’s original co-hosts.

It seems that education has declined in most of the big U.S. cities. This is a trend which has happened over many years. Now there is more emphasis on security than learning. Not that teachers and faculty should be without protection, but if the atmosphere was geared more to learning, it would seem that such security would not be necessary. 
In general, technology is a good thing. Advances in medicine, space exploration, computers, software, etc. help us to live better lives. But, do we ever stop to think about the negative aspect of technology?
