You know I am proud to know them and to know they are so generous. It is not that they bragged about their gifts it was the shopping carts that I saw filled with gifts for those they cared about and many that they did not even know.
I hope if you have a few dollars you will not only give to family and friends but make sure you give some to those less fortunate. Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas.
