Day 1

The Christmas Spirit

"Until one feels the spirit of Christmas, there is no Christmas. All else is outward display-so much tinsel and decorations. For it isn't the holly, it isn't the snow. It isn't the tree not the firelight's glow. It's the warmth that comes to the hearts of men when the Christmas spirit return again." - -- Anonymous


"Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart." - -- George Mathhew Adams

CoRP: Community for Relief in Pakistan

TODAY will be your last opportunity to donate for relief in Pakistan. The situation in Pakistan is becoming increasingly critical, in spite of the fact that the North American media seems to be ignoring it!

MYTH: Survivors have lost everything except the clothes they stand up in. The best response is to give them second-hand clothes. Ebrahim Mohamed, head of British relief agency Muslim Aid, said after the Pakistan earthquake in October 2005: “We’ve been getting all sorts of offers of used clothing, and food. We tell people very nicely that getting this there is very costly. Money is the best way of getting this across. And it helps local economies.’’

If you have not yet made a donation, or wish to make a further donations, please do so by Monday. Donations should be brought to the library. Thank you for your generosity.
