It is always important to give back and support the community around us, but during the holiday season, it is especially important to reflect on what we have and what others may not. Often times we take for granted the gifts under the tree or the Christmas dinner on the table. This may be a tradition and typical for many families, but there are many who can not say the same. It is important during the winter season to give back to those who need it. This holiday season especially, it is important to be a part of our community and spread kindness and love.
