December contains the shortest day of the year, it also contains the celebration that is supposed to be the happiest. We celebrate in the darkest part of the year, not in spite of it but because it is the dark, gloomy period. To make this work, we have to be conscious in lifting our own spirits. We must make an effort to reach outside of ourselves to lift up our fellow men and women.
Focus Questions for December:
