'Tis the season to help a neighbor in need

I hope everyone is having a peaceful and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend with their loved ones. The sights and sounds of Christmas are starting to appear. Relax and enjoy them, and try not to let the thought of shopping overwhelm you. A gift card to a favorite store along with a big hug can be the best Christmas gift for someone you love. Homemade cookies are really thoughtful, too. The simplest gifts touch the heart.
