As the Holiday Season draws near, stores are considering opening on Thanksgiving. Shoppers are planning how they will will be the first person on line on Black Friday. You turn on the radio and Christmas Music is aleady playing. Whatever happened to the spirit of giving. When I read the following exerpt from Scary Mommy, it was refreshing to see someone who is truly thinking of others who are less fortunate at this time of year. Blogger and Mother of three. Jill Smokler decided to reach out to her fans and readers and ask them to donate money for families that were in need of food for the holidays. As a result of her selfless efforts, Jill was able to raise more than eighteen thousand dollars. What is most important is that she was able to make a difference in thet lives of people who are less fortunate. This is what Good News is all about. Helping others, especially at this time of year.
