i would really just like to add "species" to linus' comments, for the part one. thank you for a great thread

respecting all, and respectful treatment towards all creatures living/breathing. i'm thinking about wendell berry, who spoke on Farm Alliance.

i try to bring awareness to places and people if there is an opportunity to do so, and especially if the plan will be received well, [with regard to animal welfare]. i do not want to lose people, so being ever mindful of my own beliefs, committee ethics, and keeping the goal in clear sight- what i/we do is for animals.

I agree with what everyone has posted so far. It is all about peace of mind, heart, and soul. I try to live by the Golden Rule, and to love my neighbor as myself. However, some folks make it very difficult to love and care for them. So, that is on them. I believe in that you reap what you sow.

I now have more time to volunteer. I also do more with skin cancer research at NIH. I have always donated food, clothing, and other items people need at Church. I also send in items to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and the satellight half way houses where soldiers stay to adjust to life back here. My adopted sister got me interested in doing that. I also send out prayer cards that I buy to those who need support. It is my way of saying that you are important, and valuable. We all need you here, don't give up.

When TJ Rogers was first diagnosed with colon cancer, her mother called and wrote me. We talked and talked. I sent both her parents the rosaries I used when JoAnn was dying. I told them that the gift of prayer is something I hold very sacred. I wanted to pass it on to them to comfort them, and give them some peace. It is something that I still treasure doing for them. I know the pain in loosing a loved sibling, but not a child. Her father told me that that was the one thing that both he and his wife will always remember because it was something that was done from the heart. Mr. Rogers said it was a gift of love. I said no, TJ was the gift of love. She is the one who touched so many of us here.

Ok. As December starts, I figured it may be worthwhile to ask what your favourite holiday movie or movie that brings holiday memories to you. For me there are two: A Christmas Story ("you'll poke your eye out!") and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (reminds me of me wanting to have the perfect holiday but sans high electrical bill).

So...

What's your favourite holiday movie or movie that reminds you of the holidays?

I really love Little Drummer Boy, the 1968 version in claymation. I love claymation.
