I just wanted to remind people during this festive season that there are a lot of people who are alone.
Some live in long-term care facilities, while others rely on home support, but most of them don't have anyone to share the Christmas warmth with.
So please, if you have time to spare or are alone yourselves, go to a care facility, a shelter or even donate to a good cause, and remember that Christmas is not always about getting that special gift.
That special gift should come from within to give a kind word, a hug or just plain company to someone who is alone.
Not to mention animals that are in local shelters as well.
I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year,
Dannica Turner
