"Meeting you was the best Christmas gift I could have ever wished for and there is nothing more in life that I want or need that could be placed under any Christmas tree." Sometimes a few words can say it all. The gift of love & friendship is priceless. Mary Jewel, a single business woman had created her own exciting holiday traditions in Las Vegas. Sharing the spirit of Christmas was so much more than just her Christmas party for her friends and neighbors that were alone for the holidays. From the Nutcracker ballet for children's groups to Christmas for the seniors and vets to singing Christmas carols on a hayride down the Las Vegas strip; Mary had the spirit of Christmas. Doing for others, helped Mary keep her mind off her personal life. She had learned years ago that Charity starts at home in helping others in need and especially during the Christmas holidays. For years she focused on helping the various children organizations. Then, one day she discovered how many homeless veterans we had living on the streets. She had also found out that the senior citizen homes had no one making their holidays special. Her Santa do List kept growing. Mary and her three elves kept busy and worked overtime in bringing the Spirit of Christmas to so many people. During the holidays, Mary made the most of each day and spent all her time making sure everyone around her had a Merry Christmas. Girl talk, several years ago had helped Mary deal with the loss of losing the love of her life and other challenges. She had given up on finding a man of her dreams; she was past her golden years. Her annual pajama party with her three best single girlfriends always kept her life exciting. They usually always talked about their families and about all the wonderful Christmas memories they had shared through the years. They would help Mary decorate the tree and this year, after a few bottles of vino, the girl talk ended up on the subject of men. These four business women were the life of their own party. As one of Mary's girlfriends said, "You don't go looking for love, it will find you." A touch of Christmas magic comes alive this holiday season and love shows up when Mary least expects it. The magic ingredient for a perfect Merry Christmas recipe! Mary had learned years ago, you don't take love for granted that it will always be there. Along the way, Life happens! Enjoy the Spirit of Christmas at its best.
