Holiday spirit More important to hold family close
As we celebrate another Christmas and holiday season, it is our nature to want our families gath ered around us, like a warm blanket of love. However, not everyone has that luxury. COMMUNITY VOICE Because of a gunman in Newtown, Conn., the fami lies of some 26 victims — including 20 first-graders W hat do you want for Christmas? from Sandy Hook Elementary School — are spending W e asked this of children in Redford, W estland and Garden City. the holiday season grieving, planning and attending funerals. They’re not opening presents or attending religious services or sitting down to the family meal. And it isn’t only victim s of violence who don’t have their families with them at this special tim e of year, a season built around family and love and under standing and peace. Many people, for reasons as varied as medical and financial, don’t have families around them with whom to spend the holidays. They crowd into our food pan tries and soup kitchens, our churches and our shelters. "I want snap-back “I want a tablet, just “I want ice skates so Or, even worse, have no place at all to go.

Jael Snowden Countless stories crop up every year of these good-deed doers. And there are countless more about whom stories never see the light of day, folks who help simply because they want to, and can. This is also not the season to focus solely on the down side, because there is so much good to go with it. The Newtown massacre is about the victims, but also about the heroes. The principal who flung her self at the gunman in an attempt to stop him. The teacher who shielded her students with her own body, and paid the price for her protection with her life. The students themselves, who found their way "Ice skates and roller “I want an Air Hogs "I want an XBox 360 "I want a laptop be out of darkness and into the arm s of those who love skates mostly.

This question w as asked at the Livonia Civic C enter Library, the Canton Public Library of information and the Plymouth District Library. Time is running out. Christmas is right around the comer. If you are like us, you probably have a bit of shopping left to do. You’ll likely be scrambling over the next couple days, trying to get something for those few people on your list who might be difficult to buy for. You know, the ones who already have everything, or the ones for whom you’re not quite sure what to get. We have a suggestion for you if one or more of those people live locally. Give them the gift that will keep on giving for the rest of the year. A gift that — week in and week out — will inform them about what’s happen “When I was a little kid ing in their town.
