Today is your day Boomer! Christmas is the time of giving and sharing; are you doing your part? I'll give you a few examples from the neighbourhood I live in: (1) Just before Xmas, a neighbour worked at his job all day and then came over in the evening and fixed our kitchen sink plumbing issue. He wanted no money, so we gave him a plate of baked goods. (2) Yesterday, a neighbour phoned and said he had found a lost dog. He thought it might be ours, so he spent alot of time surveying the area trying to match master with dog. (3) Two neighbours brought over Xmas gifts to us. (4) One neighbour was all alone for Xmas, so we provided him with a special turkey dinner. (5) Last Christmas, my neighbour brought her tractor around and plowed all the driveways in the area after a heavy snowfall. No charge, no asking, she just did it. This is where I live in the Okanagan, in a smaller town(about 11,000 people) with a great sense of community! I have lived here for thirty years and never regretted a minute of it. And now back to you Boomer: where do you live? Is it like this? And are you just a "taker" of community spirit, or are you a "giver" too? A two-way street is best for everybody. Cheers and happy holidays!
