Kindness, Friends and Christmas

"Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn't come from a store."
Dr. Seuss

It's a chicken and egg kind of thing...  I'm not sure whether Christmas makes us appreciate our friends more or whether the gift of friendship makes it feel like Christmas.  Either way, Christmas and friendship feel very connected to me.  On a recent evening, my children had a couple of friends over.  The friends went with us to my mother's house to help decorate her tree.  They came back to our home and sang songs, and then they proceeded to our kitchen to make slime (which somehow has become very popular).  A few minutes later, I overhead one of the friends say:  "This is true friendship: Sitting in someone's kitchen making slime."  It does feels like Christmas.
