Here I stand this morning, reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas. It doesnt mean being pretentious (like some people I know, who only allow you to give certain gifts, so that their gifts are not out done), it doesnt mean holding your kids over someones head (and using them as your own personal pawns either.) It means peace, love, life, celebration, FAMILY and GOD. Some of us are a lot better at that then others. Yesterday, I learned a valuable lesson. With the help of one of my closest friends, Frank Storm Sasek and I gave back to our local community. We went to the grocery store with a few hundred dollar budget and said to each other, we are going to bring as much joy as possible to feed as many people as possible with this money. And we did just that. We hand packed somewhere between 50-100 care packages for the under privileged of NYC. We refused to quit until the last care package was delivered. And so our mission began... From Union Square to Times Square, Port Authority to Penn Station, Grand Central and everywhere in between. Regardless of weather conditions, we werent going to allow ANYTHING, to stand in our way. Below are some of the pictures that we took to show you how appreciative people can be, regardless of their living conditions. As I often say, anything you have to give, is worth something to someone who has nothing. The smiles on the less fortunate faces were priceless. For them to know that there are people out there who still care. I encourage all of you, to take time out of your busy schedules every now and then and at least make an attempt to Pay it Forward. I know Ill have a Very Merry Christmas and I wish you all the same. I share with you this story to show how much joy it brings me to do these things for others. Not just for myself. There is no compliment fishing going on here, but a lesson being taught. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!! -God Bless
