Everywhere I go this Christmas season I feel misery, depression, a feeling of hopelessness. Christmas is a time of hope, joy and love.

I would like to convey this wonderful season by lifting everyone’s spirit with the real meaning of Christmas. Let all the churches ring the church bells on Christmas morning at 9:00 a.m. All across the land let us smile as we ring the bells announcing the birth of Jesus.

May we welcome everyone with a happy greeting, “Merry Christmas,” smile, love and be happy again.
