Knowing your angel you would sing a glorious song in adoration and total affection.

Come Christmas season have you ever noticed how people’s attitudes change? There seem to be more smiles, more cheery greetings, even from people you don’t know. Folks are more willing to share for for just a moment seem to really care. Folks become more neighborly. I wonder why? Why does it take Christmas to get us to behave as we should all year toward each other; and then it seems the day after Christmas the world goes back to the way it was before.
