Many are all alone on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. No one to celebrate with and lonely. Today this year is me again 🥲, but is true for many others regularly. 

Reminds me in 90s when I was alone in Italy for Christmas. Somehow a another militsry mate invited me along to have Christmas at an Italians home; it was a small family. They invited a couple sailors over who had no family to be with (we were out of country & most were poor and had no money to go home). I remember it was a long drive after dark on the autobaun freeway to get there. And had never been on one before; had mo car nir drivets liscense. It was worth it to go though. 

And the home owners were so nice🤗. I dont remember much but I remember sitting at the little table crammed in the kitchen. Lovely made food they were sharing with us. It was odd food like fish and not the same as US Christmas meal but it was humble and very nice. I felt so happy that someone offered to include this young straggler like this. I remember dismissing myself for a minute and crying in their bathroom (missing my grandparents and a Christian Christmas with family). It meant so much 🥰 to me to be there even though i couldn't understand them talking. I could never imagined being invited thete and still dont remember how it came about. 

All those days are long gone now... but on days like today I do remember that memory and those kind people trying to help some have a feel of cheer and be included at Christmas and have a feeling of warmth. 🥲🙂

So If you have opportunity to help someone feel less alone and you have extra spot at Christmas I do hope you give someone a memory like this too. 🤗🙏

You could also bless them with a departing gift such as a tract bucket or a Christian book wrapped up with a tract inside, too 🎄🎁. You can make an eternal impact in someones life by doing so. 

God bless
