How to resolve AdBlock issue? Merry Christmas, Peace to All!
Wnctimes wishes everyone a wonderful Christmas!
The holidays may be a time of reflection....thoughts of the past, thoughts of the future.
Taking time for those thoughts are important.
So is taking time to enjoy the present, the precious gift of the time we have now
Especially for those who are fortunate enough to have health, home, friends, family, a roof over our head.
Reaching out to those alone, those who have suffered loss, letting others know you care,
is a gift you can give that will last.
Merry Chirstmas. Peace to all.
"Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone." Charles Schulz

When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things – not the great occasions – give off the greatest glow of happiness." Bob Hope
Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes – goodwill among men and peace on earth." ~Albert Einstein
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. Wishing you happiness." — Helen Keller
