To the Editor:
I want to wish all of your readers a wonderful holiday season.
For those of us fortunate enough to enjoy good health and have families and friends with whom to celebrate, this can be the most wonderful time of the year. We should revel in the happiness that this holiday season generates, but also remember to be grateful for our good fortune, as there are always far too many people who do not share it.
As I do every year at this time, I would like to urge everyone who is able to contribute to the efforts of the many organizations and volunteers who strive to make life better for those who need their help, not just during the holiday season but also all year long.
These organizations and volunteers work tirelessly to provide food, clothing, and other essentials to those who would go without the necessities of life without their help. These wonderful, caring people appreciate our help any time, but probably need it most now when they are devoting their efforts to bringing cheer and happiness to the adults and children who also want, and deserve, some happiness during the holiday season.
We must also remember our neighbors who will be celebrating this holiday season worried about the safety of relatives and friends who are overseas fighting the war on terror. We owe our love and support to these brave men and women, and to their friends and families. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost someone in this war.
Wishing all of you a happy and healthy holiday season,
State Sen. Judith G. Freedman
Westport
