There are many people at home, and many far from home. Some live alone.
Many are travelling, some crew on ships and boats, some fly on aircraft, some ride trains, some drive commercial and other trucks. Some are on oil rigs, some are at wilderness sites. Some stand the watch in Police, Firefighting, Rescue, Military, or Guard facilities. Some are on business trips, and some are at schools - in dorms far from family. Some are even at facilities we will never know the names or purposes of.
Some are in Hospitals or Hospices or provide care at them...
For those who have an internet connection and come to FTE, especially if the 'NET is one of the few ways you have to touch base over the holidays ~
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

(~Linus, when he walked out onto the stage, after the poor tree Charlie Brown brought was ridiculed)
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'
That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
And when Linus was done speaking, Charlie Brown looked at the little tree - and took it home with him....
