Holidays are for sharing

Have a look outside ... What are you expecting to see at this time of the year? Snow of course though this year it is kind of minimal, just enough to remind us that we are supposed to be wearing winter clothes. We can also see houses decorated for the Holidays but I have to say that some have more taste than others. Anyway, everywhere you go these days you can hear Season's Greetings, Christmas music, people talking about parties and gifts to buys, etc.

As usual, in Galt's library, we give a little twist to the Season's Spirit with our Holiday tree. It has nothing to do with the regular green one and we like to pass on a few meaningful thoughts along the way. We chose to present you ribbons of colors attached to a few of the causes that need our support throughout the year. So, instead of giving a gift that you buy from a store, choose a color, choose a cause and get involved. Sharing "IS" what it's all about. Take a few minutes to look at the books on the table and please feel free to borrow them! We also put a list of the different meanings of the colors with their causes for you to choose from. Don't be shy and have a look around you, you are sure to find someone in pain (physically, mentally, psychologically) that often just needs a hand to help them out of a bad situation or just to feel some relief. You have the power to do it, every little gesture counts.
