On Saturday, we had friends over for a Christmas social. Most years, Christmas is such a busy time, we just never have taken the opportunity to entertain friends. Yet, this is exactly the time of year when one should show friends how much you appreciate them. We had a lot of fun. There was much laughter and kinship. Some of the people who came are people we normally only see through work. It was nice to get to know them on a more casual basis. Others are very good friends we see all the time, yet because this is Christmas, the occasion was more special than other times. Some who came have been our friends for many years, others are newer friends. There is something about Christmas that makes socializing very important. People who are alone at Christmas tend to be lonelier than other times of the year. Those of us who have family and friends to gather with should be very thankful. We should take advantage of the fact that we have people who care about us by making sure we get together with them and enjoy their company, especially during the holiday season. Having good friends to make Christmas even more magical . . . it's a good thing!
