1. Congress passed a budget extension. Guess they were afraid of what might happen on Christmas morning. (or Hanukkah, which is even closer, or Kwanzaa...pick your day).
2. Some people don't just go out and give in the traditional ways. They drop in from no where and make it happen.
3. Even if you can't give a lot, you can make a difference.
To top it off, my group won the Hotel holiday decorating contest with a wild idea from up north. Yes, sirree!
Mr. Marine, you've got it right, it is a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and a Maximus Festivus here in RehabLand.
