How to Celebrate the Holidays

I have an idea of how to celebrate this year’s Holiday Season. Holidays are hard and can be very difficult even when a family is just perfect. (And when is that?) But holidays are especially hard for the homeless and downtrodden.

The Gathering Place is more than a sanctuary. without it some of us would be going back to the gas station bathrooms. There are things you can’t experience and can’t talk about unless you have to live on the edge. So here is what we should do. Have a marathon. Leave the lights on and the heat on all night. Invite LePage, King, Susan Collins, Olympia Snow to spend a night with the homeless. Ask for donations to be used to better help people.

This is my idea. Maybe it will be a seed.
