He would probably welcome being a part of holiday celebrations if he has no other family.

This was an outstanding message although it had to deal with pain and sorrow. You have given your friend, the writer of the note, a gift that I am sure he cherishes beyond words, and that is the gift of knowing he had someone he could turn to, someone he knew would understand, someone he knew would care. This is a very rare gift indeed in these days of people being too stressed, too busy, to overwhelmed to actually reach out and care about somebody else. Yes this Christmas Season will be difficult beyond words for your friend that lost his wife, but I am certain that having you as his friend will bring him a degree of comfort that you may never know he felt. I thank you for this message you have shared with us, and I can only pray that I could do the same for someone else, as you have done for your friend. Actions such as this truly are “the reason for the Season”.

Each person (all children of all ages over 2 participate) chooses something from there own belongings that they love and want to share with another family member. It is wrapped up for a gift, given a number then set under the family tree. Each person draws a number from “the hat” and that is the present they get. It is quite touching when a 6 year old wraps up his favourite childhood book his mother once read to him and an Auntie receives it. No one buys a single gift but everyone has received a gift a real love.

Don’t think it will happen as he just had surgery to repair his knee which was injured in a game next week.

He’s the team captain, and after all the years of work to get to this point, it’s tough to have him miss this…

But I do have my sons, my boyfriend, family, home, pets… everything else I need. It’s not about the gifts, its about the life experiences!

I only have one brother left out of my family and we don’t exchange gifts, but I do exchange with one friend. I don’t miss not having presents for just the reason you stated — good friends, good health, an (overactive) imagination and the beauty I see everywhere is gift enough for me!

I hope your friend has someone to give him a hug and make him smile this holiday.
