It has already been a month of smiles, togetherness and love. It’s so much fun to see the twinkle in a child’s eye when they ride on the Jingle Bell Express, Jet Blue Dream Flight, or just seeing them in the house every day. Families come together for memory making and together they are the circle of strength. You can feel hopefulness and joy as kindness surrounds us. We are all so very grateful. It is the season of generosity and it is not just about the gifts or money we give, it is also about how we give our time.

Compassion and generosity are lofty virtues but they are the center of our charity. This is what makes our lives joyful and meaningful. It is the tenderness we share and it is the tenderness we see when families are close.

May this season of giving remind us how fortunate we are when we are surrounded by togetherness and hope. Embrace those who are heartsick, our lives are richer when we share and your heart will be filled with joy like the children and families we strive to support.
Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday and a very happy new year. Wishing you the gifts of the season — Peace, Joy, Hope. Merry Christmas!     -Kristine
